chriso (4683), London, Greater London, England Oct 29, 2009 Bottle, from Supreme Liquors, Cambridge MA, 4 October 2009. Dark brown with a ruby tinge. Scant head. Lots of chocolate in the aroma. Roast malt and chocolate flavour. A touch of sweetness - treacle toffee. Pretty tasty.
Jblauvs (531), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Oct 3, 2009 Dark black pour with a tan head.
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 (584), , Massachusetts, USA 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 (234), New York, New York, USA 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 Jul 19, 2009 coffee, roasty, dough, black, hazy, tan foam, medium bitterness, lightly sour, full body, creamy, fizzy, duff (5474), Surrey, Greater London, England Jun 29, 2009 Draught@Redbones, Boston. Pretty thin porter. Really not much happening. Some light roast, some green apple flavours, but not much else. zach8270 (2051), Henrietta, New York, USA May 17, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Dark black pour with a thin tan head. Aroma has a good amount of roasted malts mixed with some sweetness. Flavor is lightly roasted coffee at the beginning with a roasty and light chocolate middle. Finishes dry and roasted with a dry bitter coffee note. A bit thin. yobdoog (1426), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Apr 8, 2009 Very dark in color, not much head. A little lacing. Good aroma of coffee and some anise. Taste has some bitter roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Better room temp.
