Panzuriel (963), Westerville, Ohio, USA Apr 2, 2008 Deep and rich brown pour with a very very fine head of small bubbles. Nose is slightly sweet and maybe some sweet malty notes. Taste is at first tangy and molassess sweet but resolves into a nice dry roasted malt happiness. Texture is a little thin, but okay. a nice beer.
kimcgolf (700), Dacula, Georgia, USA Jan 5, 2009 Poured to a dark chocolate brown with a hint of ruby at the bottom of the glass, a thin tan head that disippated quickly and little lacing. Nose is malty choclate with a hint of oatmeal. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, leaning only slightly to the watery side. Taste is a satisfactory follow-up of the nose, and the finish, though nothing spectacular, is tasty and of medium duration. JustinFromAL (88), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Dec 30, 2008 Poured a deep brown with red tint. medium tan head. Chocolate malt on the nose. Initially a very smooth beer with a bit of a malted aftertaste. In one word: Creamy. I think this will be my go to Porter! Boutip (1912), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Dec 19, 2008 Bottle: Poured a clear black color porter with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of dry coffee notes with some subtle black chocolate. Taste is a mix between some chocolate note with some dry coffee and lightly sweet notes at the end. Body is a bit thin with some average carbonation. Very well done overall apart from body too thin.
Kinz (1976), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA Dec 15, 2008 VRBT. Dark brown. Fruity, roasty aroma. Flavor is light chocolate and a bit of coffee. Just so so. douglas88 (1012), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Dec 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to Joe. Pours a dark brown color with loads of red hints, a pretty thick light brown head. A nice aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, oats, and light hops. The flavor is very nice, sweet roasted malts, lots of milk chocolate, creamy and full of oatmeal and a slight alcohol warmth. Cocoa and light hops. Very enjoyable. A very nice example of one of my favorite styles. A creamy and full mouthfeel.
