| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 9, 2009 An enjoyable if not memorable porter. This beer pours a brownish mahogany with a nice beige head. The aroma is a bit muted, in my opinion. There are notes of sugar cane, chocolate and some light hops. The flavor is a tad too sweet but quite satisfying. The mouthfeel is creamy and rich. It’s a very easy beer to drink. There’s quite a bit of flavor for the size of the beer.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 8, 2009 Poured ultra dark brown with a short, almost brown head. The aroma was a lot of chocolate with some roasted malts and coffee. The flavor followed suit. The flavor managed not to fall apart into a slightly soured mess like sometimes happens. Pretty much medium in body. Suprisingly good. Brewbie (227), New York, USA

And finish. dmac (1500), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 22, 2009 12 oz bottle via Spirits Lakewood. Poured a deep dark black body with an average to slightly large creamy beige head. Aroma was really nice with lots of roastiness, vanilla extract, chocolate, pudding, some burnt dark fruit as well. Body has a ton of bitterness on the end, a medium body and strong carbonation. Roasty flavor with some distinct fruitiness and then lots of burnt and tar notes. Aroma was simply great but the flavor drops off a bit and the roastiness becomes so forward that it’s a slight bit overpowering for an unexperienced palate. blipp (1700), Newark, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Malty, with molasses and some strange herbal notes. The flavor has a slightly off malt sweetness. I can’t really put my finger on exactly what it is. Roasty finish. Not that bad. smith4498 (917), Miami, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Pours cola brown color with tan head. Aromas of toasted malts with lots of chocolate. Roasted malt and nutty flavors with a heavy dose of chocolate. Medium to full body with soft carbonation an a nice creamy mouthfeel. MrChopin (657), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Oct 24, 2009 Near-black, light tan bubbles coaxed, survive for a second, then no head. Light roast and dark fruit in the quite bland nose. Flavor is similar, a little more sweetness from some sugar and possibly chocolate, also hints of alcohol and off notes. Light body, short finish, rather sticky. Very bland, and so when the alcohol emerges, it really kills this one.
