Dec 25, 2005 Bitter coffee and chocolate aroma, very dark brown, ruby at the sides, small tan head. Taste is coffee, caramel, and mocha. Dry and sweet. Pretty good. Thanks Hogtown Harry.

Dec 18, 2005 Sampled from bottle. Pours clear, dark-brown with a creamy tan head and nice lacing. Aroma is deep, rich chocolate and flavor is balanced and dominated by chocolate. Nice and crisp with a bit of bitterness in the finish. Medium-bodied and moderate carbonation. An enjoyable beer experience, but not great enough that I’ll indulge in again at $5.49/500ml.

Oct 31, 2005 500ml brown bottle touts but lacks a freshness date for this "Yorkshire Porter." Pours opaque with a slightly white head and chocolatey aroma. Medium-bodied, 5% ABV, with a tempered dark malt flavor, rich black malt character adn very dry finish. No "nightmare" here, just a drinkable porter.

Oct 17, 2005 This stuff is an excellent porter. I’d love to go to england and try it on cask someday. Nice cocoa and vanilla notes in the aroma and taste. Good amount of malts here. Palate was smooth. Very nice to look at also with that tan head.

Oct 16, 2005 Very English in character. Not as thick and heavy as some of our native porters, but still quite good and very flavorul. Complex aroma with oak, fruit, and roasted malt. Flavor is a blend of medium bodied coffee, malt, and light dried fruit. Very drinkable, a little thin. Best at room temperature.
