CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Jan 29, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. One of the chocolatiest porters I’ve ever had. Lots of roast and chocolate. Smooth, a little thin, but still an awesome porter. ajwilliams (118), , Indiana, USA Jan 15, 2009 Crisp dark brown pour with a thin head. Sharp aroma of malt, chocolate, booze. Faint notes of hops. Flavor is strongly coffee, with creamy malt and chocolate. A full-bodied, pleasant porter. Swalden28 (1439), McKinney, Texas, USA Jan 14, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a deep dark brown with red hues, tan head. Aroma of earth & chocolate. Flavor of chocolate, coffee, with faint hop flavor. Mouthfeel is medium feel with medium carbonation. Overall, this is tasty! tarjei (1741), Bryne, Norway Jan 14, 2009 355 ml bottle. Dark brown reddish color, fine off-white/beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate and hops. Flavor is sweet roasted malt, chocolate and has fine bitterness. A bit thin for a strong porter, but nice. Anareon (12), Fairview Heights, Illinois, USA Jan 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is malty and roasty. Taste is a bit bitter with a large hint of coffee. I barely detected the chocolate undertones. Very average porter. drjay44 (757), Salida, Colorado, USA Jan 9, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a thin mocha colored head with good duration, some lacing, over a blackish brown body.....nose of roasted malts with some coffee, some chocolate, with a bit of hop.....tastes of heavy roasted malts, with chocolate, cocoa, coffee strains with a pleasantly mild bitter finish....overall redolent of roasted grain....medium mouth feel...a good example of a strong style porter. lumberjack (178), Michigan, USA Jan 4, 2009 Pours a very dark brown with a perfect tan colored thick head that sticks around. Slight aroma of roasted malt. Taste is somewhat bitter, with some chocolate and roasted malt notes. Very creamy mouthfeel. Nice coffee aftertaste. Very good porter overall. MrBunn (1520), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a tan head that is little more than a thin layer of bubbles after a few seconds. Sweet roasted malt and a kind of funky cocoa/milk chocolate greet the nose, and flavors are consistent with this: a mix of cocoa, a little bit of peat, leather and vanilla. Mouthfeel is thin and silky, while finish is an odd mix of dry, earthy and sweet chocolate.
