Apr 3, 2008 Aroma of molasses, brown sugar, cocoa, toasted malt and chicory, black, ruby at the sides, a small firm cappuccino head, and lots of lace. Flavour is liquorice, roasted malt, salty black bread, oats, strong coffee and dark chocolate. Rich, full bodied, very well balanced, bitter, dizzying tongue texture. Terrific! Finally got this through the LCBO.

Aug 30, 2006 Sample at AleFest Dayton (As Tom Paine Porter): This beer is a very dark brown color with a thin beige head and spotty lacing. The aroma is chocolatey cocoa and burnt malt. Medium-bodied and dry with roasted malt and chocolate flavors. The finish is sweet molasses and chocolate. Better than expected overall.

Mar 14, 2005 Molasses and lots of chocolate malt define this sweet, figgy brew. Very little hops, but light roastiness is noticeable. A sweet, syrupy maltfest.

Jul 7, 2008 275ml bottle celebrating TILs 2-0 over Strømsgodset. Ruby-black body under a thin, filmy layer. Dark malts, a bit burnt, to the nose. Dark fruits and bitter malts to the flavour. Flat carbonation. Watered palate - I had expected more from this one (Coutesy of Wivi-Ann, 06.07.2008).

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)

Feb 6, 2004 I found a lone, dust covered bottle of this at a local store, with a torn label, and what appeared to be a pidgeon feather stuck to the price tag - pour is very opaque, with a somewhat frothy lacing - highly complex aroma of brown sugar, prunes, dates, licorice - nearly zero carbonation, medium bodied - slight bitterness cuts the sweet flavors of dates, chocolate chip cookie dough, sweetened coffee, licorice - bready finish - a unique and tasty porter.

Dec 28, 2000 I agree with OAKES, I found it quite good. Fine nose and a good finish, more to the style than many.
