Mostly coffee in the flavor and a bit of chocolate. Palate is dry, a little bitter, and a bit thin/watery. Not bad, but just another average brew from FF.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 23, 2005 GABF. Listed as "Espresso Porter." Pours a jet black with a cream head. Aroma is cookie and chocolate. Flavor falls flat of the aroma, with flat chocolate and coffee not doing much to tickle the tongue. Palate is smooth. Not bad, but could be better. willblake (2176), Belcamp, Maryland, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 8, 2005 09.30.05 GABF They called it Expresso Porter. Aggressive coffee and earth nose. Very mild coffee flavor, more lingering peat smoke and a chemical sort of chocolate presence. Had a couple extra samples because I really wanted to like it. Gets a touch sour toward end where I’d have preferred some bitterness from the roast. Very creamy palate. DavidP (1743), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 3, 2005 Sweet cocoa and coffee aroma. Cloudy brown with a large head. More cocoa and coffee, but blended with a mild roastiness throughout and creamy feel to the whole affair. Enjoyed this one.
