Aroma is malty with a bit of smoke/roast. Mouthfeel is a little thin but not horrendous.
Flavor is a bit flat but decently full maltiness. Not a lot going on, overall a little blah. BroSpud (597), , Massachusetts, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Sep 24, 2009 12oz screwtop bottle. I seem to have enjoyed this one more than most of the reviewers here. Sure it is nothing spectacular but it is pretty good. Big malt taste with a nice amount of smokiness. It also has some spiciness to it, maybe cinnamon? All the big taste without the big alcohol. Not bad. Leighton (267), New York, New York, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 15, 2009 Outrageous! i enjoyed this porter very much. Poured a dark black with a strong head. Aroma of roasted malts. Flavor of malts as well, along with choclate and notes of cinnamon - yes, cinnamon! Thick and rich, it felt great to drink. A beer fo savoring. Finished smooth. Exactly what I had wanted. bparker33 (1), Macon, Georgia, USA does not count | 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 19, 2009 coffee, roasty, dough, black, hazy, tan foam, medium bitterness, lightly sour, full body, creamy, fizzy, duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England
