| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 11, 2009 Pours a very dark red/brown with OK head. Aroma is roasty, with notes of chocolate and coffee. Flavor is certainly not complex, but has again has a nice roasty quality- quite similar to the aroma. Palate is a bit thin, but not bad for a fairly inexpensive porter. Decent brew. oteyj (810), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 11, 2009 Pours a very dark red with nice two finger head. Aroma is chocolate roast, some arid grainyness and coffee malt. Flavor is mostly roasty but a tad on the lighter side. Perhaps not malty enough for the style. Palate is smooth and soft, but again a bit on the thin side. Tasty, but not extraordinary. Pyrozoid (352), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada

Aromes de caramel, sucre brun, prunes et une touche de vanille et chocolat. Corps moyen, bonne effervescence avec une bonne equilibre en général. Gout tres malté et un mince filet de caramel. Bonne Porter brassé de base... CheersMate1 (865), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 25, 2009 They must have updated the sticker on the bottle. Malty aroma, but you really don’t get that coffee and ash flavor until you try the beer, and when you do try the beer these flavors are very subtle. I don’t think this company was going for making their beers no. 1 in the world or anything, so this was expected. Black in color, with a thin off-white head i.e. nothing outstanding for a porter. Not a very creamy beer, but this beer isn’t watered down as their wheat beer was! The guy below me noted sugar. After reading his rating and a few others I definitely get that sweet sugar aroma, but not so much the taste. Overall, just a very middle of the road porter; this beer isn’t bad by any means, but I think after trying it once I am good to go. puboflyons (628), New Hampshire, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Feb 21, 2009 From a 12 fl. oz. bottle no. 4123258081646. As it pours it has this sort of opaque ruby-red brown tone but when it settles in the glass it becomes brown with about 1/3 inch of foamy tan head. The aroma is like roasted malts, sugar and licorice. The mouthfeel is of medium texture with good stability and the flavor comes on strong with malts, caramel, and burnt coffee. A nicely brewed porter.
