bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Nov 17, 2006 Bottled. Pours an opaque dark brown with a substantial and lacy tan head. Aroma of chocolate over roasty malt that has a touch of coffee and a tiny hint of hops behind it. Medim body and carbonation. Just a bit of sweetness in the taste with coffee, wood, vanilla and chocolate. Dry, slightly bitter finish. RagallachMC (631), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Nov 16, 2006 12oz bottle. Aroma: Dark roasted malt with some coffee and slightly sour notes. Geting a bit of chocolate, too. A touch of piney hops. Appearance: Dark brown in color with small walnut highlights. Light beige head was ridiculously huge, rocky, and lasted a long time. Some nice spotty lacing. Flavor: Toasted nuts, coffee, chocolate. A light sourness and a bit of a metallic twang. A touch of smoke into the finish. Light citrus and piney hops into the finish, too. Palate: Medium bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Some roasted malt astringency on sides of the mouth. Overall: A decent porter, and drinkable, but nothing special. larsniclas (3383), Gothenburg, Sweden Nov 11, 2006 [Bottled]

Fine, bitter hoppiness. linkolnlogg (94), your home, Minnesota, USA Nov 7, 2006 Bottle. Pours out a deep black colour with a mild creamy tan head. Moderate lacing. Nose is coffee and malt. Taste is slightly salty, coffee, and roasted malt with a nice ash/fireplace character on the palate and on the way down. Smooth and mdium-full bodied but slightly chalky on the palate after it has gone down. jazz88 (2235), San Francisco, California, USA Nov 5, 2006 Bottle.

Grainy, slightly malty, nutty aroma. Heavy roasted malt flavor with a nutty finish. Definitely "robust" roasted flavor with coffee notes. Flavor stays on the palate for a while. screigh (253), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Oct 22, 2006 Pours a verk dark brown color. When holding it to a light it can been seen through and has a red hue. Almost nonexistant head. Aroma is mostly mast with a hint of roastyness. Seems high on carbonation whick tingles the tongue. Slight hint of chocolate. Definite malt and slight roastyness. Bitter finish on the back sides of the tongue. I wish it has a bit stronger roast but a decent porter.
