| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 5, 2003 (bottled) Deep garnet color with near brilliant clarity. Roasted, chocolate malt aromas. Medium-bodied with lowish carbonation. Rich, smooth malt flavor with roasted grain, nice fruit and caramel. Firm hop bitterness leads to a pleasant dry finish. Well balanced and clean. lemonlovr (187), Lockport, Illinois, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 13, 2003 Soapy coffee aroma. Texture is a little rough and gritty, with mild flavors of chalky coffee and caramel. Soft on the palate, with a rough finish. Nuffield (2724), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 12, 2003 Coca-cola color, clear. Overcarbonated but smooth. A very basic porter, roasted and a bit chocolatey perhaps, but rather one dimensional. The aroma has a blend of the same, chocolatey with a plastic quality. Slight sour, milky, too.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 15, 2003 (Best by 10/31/03) The beer is almost opaque, just a little light shines through my glass. I got a nice rocky head on my pour. The nose is straightforward dark chocolate, coffee, and hops. The palate is medium in body with a refreshing, but subtle acidity. The flavors are predominately yeast, fruit, and chocolate. The finish is restrained and complex at the same time. I really like this beer, because it is all too easy to drink pint after pint.
