Feb 4, 2005 Black color with a thin white head. Very attractive sweet chocolate aroma. Flavor really fills out in the finish with mild chocolate. Very easy to drink and quite tastey.

Feb 4, 2005 Bottled. Nice chocolat and light roasted aroma. Black color, light brown small rocky head that disappears quickly leaving no lace so leaving you with a glass that looks like a glass of cola. Sweet, some chocolat, light roasted, bit cola flavor, light bodied (thin?). Actually very drinkable but not quite my style. I’m more into aggresive stouts.

Jan 18, 2005 Whatever the name, this was pretty good. Nice dark body, almost black. Complex nose: coffee, choclate, vanilla, smokiness. Sweet. Medium bodied and nice smooth feel in the mouth. Minimal carbonation. Good flavor. Sweetness but not cloying. Chocolate, coffee. Good stuff.

Dec 28, 2004 Dark brown, not black, and loosely formed head. Gentle coffee aroma but also milk and grape. Moderately short finish, caramel, toasty, roasted, and some cardboard. Pretty good if you get past a slightly lactic edge. (2004 Christmas Party, my #11, group’s #5)

Dec 25, 2004 Bottle. A dark brown color with a laced brown head. Vanilla, toasted malts, dry and nicely balanced for a porter. A long enjoyable toasted malt aftertaste. Christmas Party 2004 ranked 5/15 (mine) and 5/15 (group).

Dec 1, 2004 Very dark brown color with a small tiny bubbled tan head. Lightly oily and silky feel. Fig pudding and treacle aromas. Treacle and mild earthy malt flavors. Light iron and thin port finish.

Nov 18, 2004 Dark, roasted malt aroma with bourbon notes. Nice, but somewhat subtle. Dark ruby red, brown in color. no head. Smooth flavor; dry with chocolate malts. A little too lactose in the finish. Ok. Probably the best of the Harvey’s line I’ve had. But that’s not saying much.

Nov 18, 2004 Sweet carmel nose infused with a hint of alcohol. It is pretty flat and mostly tastes like coffee and burnt chocolate. I just can’t seem to find a porter that I really like.
