Commercial Description:
A singularly distinctive beer that represents our finest brewing efforts, Walker’s Reserve is an elegant dark ale featuring robust flavors of espresso, caramel and bittersweet chocolate. This wood-conditioned brew employs five specialty malts along with smooth silky oats for added complexity and flavor. Gentle English Goldings and spicy American Cascade hops together lend a perfect finish to this big, bittersweet ale. Somewhere between porter and stout, this unfiltered and bottle-conditioned beer is produced in small batches for the true connoisseur.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a lazing brown beer. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt and wood. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and some wood, leading to a dry and lightly bitter finish. Nice. Thanks Søren for sharing.

Bottled, thanks hopsrus!!
Very dark brown. Restrained grapefruit aroma. Flowery and reasonably dry with medium- to light body and a licorice finish. Flavourful, yet very drinkable. A top notch porter!
