Mar 16, 2005 Bottle. Pours near black with a small cream colored head. Nose is light molasses, roasted malts, watered down coffee, and hints of caramel. Taste is pretty much the same - light bitter coffee notes, roasted malts, light caramel, hint of smokiness, and cocoa. Body is smooth and creamy with light bitterness and mild carbonation. Finish is very roasty and coffee-like. Bitter with light bittersweet chocolate notes. Good stuff!

Mar 11, 2005 This pours a translucent dark brown with ruby highlights, slight carbonation, and a thin light brown head that does some decent lacing. It’s got a creamy chocolate aroma blended with some light roasted barley. Medium-bodied and very smooth in the mouth, it’s got some nice roasted flavors, dark malts, and some chocolate. Oddly, it’s got a watery finish. Still, a very drinkable porter.

Mar 7, 2005 Poured very dark,like chocolate mixed with cherries, with a thick, creamy tan head with lace that lingers. Aroma a bit sour at first pour, but it sweetened up. Nice malts, roasty and tasty, but not outstanding.

Dec 16, 2004 500mL bottle ($4.99)
Creamy tan head, well retentive. Ruby color with dark brown ribbons. Nose of bark, grass, light sweet tobacco. Taste is fairly balanced & shy. Digging deeper I find subtle roast, licorice, & some malt body. Maybe a touch watery in the finish but no denying this is a classic british porter.
