Jan 12, 2006 500 mL bottle. heavily sweet brown sugar and molasses body and aroma - one-dimensionally sweet, in fact, until the finish which is somewhat astringent and vinous. this could be fermented molasses, for all i know. not offensive, but certainly not good.

Aug 5, 2004 Bottle pours black with no head, but lace sheets that cling to the sides of my nonic. The aroma is roasted, malty, and chocolate like. The flavor starts out sweet and caramel like, with a roasted malt middle, and a bitter and slightly sour finish. The palate is very smooth and fairly rich. Overall, this is pretty good. I wish I had a nice steak to go with this.

Jan 1, 2009 Bottle from brewery shop.Brown/black with a tan head. Sweet roasted malts with toffee notes. Little in the way of balancing hops but not overly sweet.

Oct 12, 2007 I enjoyed this from a bottle called Tom Paine’s Original Old Porter. Poured to a used motor oil black, with medium tan head that dissipated soon and left some lacing. Aroma was a strong and pleasant malt chocolate-caramel that lasted for most of the drink. Flavor was a very tasty mix of malt chocolate, caramel, vanilla and a hint of coffee. This all led to a well rounded finish that was long, almost a little too sweet, and very warming for a beer with only 4.8% abv.
This would make a good winter warmer.

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.

Dec 1, 2007 Updated: Dec 2, 2007Deep dark brown coat with a tinge of rad. Nice lacing and foam. Delectable brew showing coffee, cocoa, hints of licorice and other things like maybe tart berry fruit - subtle, full and warming with a long lingering dry finish. A solid four from just one tasting.
