Nov 25, 2000 Updated: Jul 31, 2006This is very complex - treacly, with port-like flavours and aromas, a rich dark fruit character, an oily body, and a
touch of dark chocolate as well. A top five porter.

Nov 28, 2005 (500ml bottle, labeled Tom Paine Original Old Porter) Small but creamy beige head atop a brown-black body. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, molasses, nutty. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, port, some plum, chocolate, light roast, earthy. Watery light-medium body with low carbonation. I find many of the bigger Harvey beers to have too much treacle, but the same elements, toned down, work better here.

Jun 22, 2007 275ml bottle from brewery shop. Black with faint ruby edges, thick tan head. Excellent almost peaty malt aroma. This is thick and unctious. Thick heavy tarry roasted malt aromas. Seriously this beats a lot of porters/stouts and impy stouts with bigger reputations. All the intense flavours, but no ridiculous massive hops on finish. This is awesome. Menthol, eucalyptus. Drank at room temperature on Lewes to Ashford train with the Inspiral Carpets.

Nov 14, 2006 Bottle. Deep dark brown color, almost black. Grapes and roasted malt in the aroma. Coffee, roasted malt and grapes in the flavor. Just a touch of malty sweetness. Very pleasant beer, although a bit thin.

Sep 1, 2007 A Mes rate:
50cl bottle from Kris Wines. Black/brown with a swifly dissipating tan head that settles to a bubbly film. Caramel malt aroma with a bit of vanilla and chocolate. Decent chocolate malt flavour that is let down by obvious cardboard and metallic notes. Was much worse when first opened, but now it has had time to settle it’s mellowed to something drinkable and quite enjoyable. Bitter chocolate finish with some very slight hops showing. Nice creamy mouthfeel which is almost worth a ’4’.
