Dec 11, 2007 About average all the way around. Not a lot of aroma. Nice looking dark brown. Flavor is roasted malt. I didn’t notice the licorice or chocolate they claim is there. Watery palate. Lots better out there.

Dec 9, 2007 Poured from the bottle dark brown. Looked flat. Tasted it to make sure and it still tasted fresh, but there was literally no head when I poured it. Maybe it was a bad bottle. Anyhow, it wasn’t that bad. Syrupy texture to the beer, with hints of chocolate and licorice. Finish was slightly bitter. I wouldn’t be able to drink a lot of these in a row but I could definitely enjoy one of these every now and then during the holidays.

Dec 7, 2007 Earthy chocolate and coffee aroma. Flavor follows suit. Like most things I’ve had from Flying Dog, it’s a pretty good porter, but far from my favorite.

Dec 5, 2007 Brewed August 2006. Aroma like something left on your shoe, and also malt. Great white head on brown in my anti-gravity glass. Taste is chewy tobacco, smooth and malty mildly hoppy finish. Good drinking, I could have two, that’s it. Thanks Tomthompson98.

Dec 4, 2007 Wow! The head on this beer is insane! Froth galore. Classic porter taste, coffee vibe going, my only problem is that the post-porter bloating.

Dec 4, 2007 12oz. bottle into pint glass. Pours a deep, dark brown with a thick tan colored head. Heavy aromas of roasted malts, coffee, butter and earthy hints. Flavor is of chocolate, malts, and coffee with some smokey hints. Mouthfeel is very thin and light, almost un-enjoyable for a "porter." Very average porter.

Dec 2, 2007 I was disapointed with this brew from the pour. It has a thin head with no retention and the aroma give me much of a hint of what I would be drinking. For some reason the carbonation level on this porter was super high making me feel like I was drinking a trappist ale but without the complexity. Needless to say I was disapointed.
