| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 5, 2007 Aroma off roasted / burnt malt, chocolate, coffee, and some yeast/ alcohol. The flavor is mostly burnt malt and roasted coffee with a bitter aftertaste, would have wanted a bit more complexity and mouth feel, but a good (burnt)porter non the less.

Jet black, thin head. Subtle burnt aroma. Very lively in the mouth, but when that’s settled, it’s a good pale malt and also chocolate malt taste too. Smooth and malty, nicely burnt - very nice. Excellent job at 4.5%. Tranquillity (1167), Espoo, Finland

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 2, 2007 Hazy dark nut brown pour covered by a 1cm lacy and foamy head. Powdery in the nose with light liquorice, nuts and plums notes that complement the soft roastiness. Well integrated, fruity, biscuity, just showing in order every flavours you could think were missing at some point. Sweet beginning, but that fades as well. Medium body, light foamy carbonation. Good stuff. rickgordon (3319), Göteborg, Sweden

Near black colour. Great porter with notes of juniper and perfect toastiness. Medium bodied with bitter chocolate. Tasty beer. Magicdave6 (5558), London, Greater London, England
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 6, 2007 Bottle thanks to someone. Aroma is roasted barley and chocolate malts. Taste is similar perhaps a hint at flaked barley. Not my style of beer at all.
