Mar 9, 2006 was hoping for more depth from such a nice-colored porter--but it just isn’t there. Thin, slightly astringent, disappointing. Don’t bother with this one.

Mar 2, 2006 A porter that tastes promising in the first sip, but one quickly finds that the flavour is deceptively shallow. At first I couldn’t put my hand on how to describe the flavour, but I think it is best described as having a burnt popcorn taste. It has a beautiful colour though, kind of red/brown.

Mar 1, 2006 There is a light roasted aroma. Color is a dark brown with a tan head. Flavor is a light roasted malt but is subdued. The finish on the palate is somewhat weak and uninspiring.

Feb 26, 2006 I guess there is a first for everything: this was my first drain-pour porter. Dark brown with a tan head. Weird metallic. slightly sour aroma, somewhat medicinal. A bit of roasted coffee/chocolate in the flavor, but they are largely masked by a horrid metallic flavor folllowed by a strange sourness in the finish. Awful.

Feb 18, 2006 Pour is a clear cola like brown with no head. Aroma is hard to detect but it was a strange chemical smell. Not very good. Flavor is nothing to write home about. Some choco and malt but all is very weak. Prob the worst porter i have ever had.

Feb 17, 2006 Actually a decent looking pour with a dark brown color and a mountain of light chocolate mousse. Weak nose, with some caramel, toffee and a touch of viennese coffee. Sweet and acidic when it come down to it. Some dark caramel comes together with mild , yet somewhat in your face bitterness that takes over the finish and leave the linger hanging like some dried herbs. A schwartz and porter cross.

Feb 15, 2006 From a distinctive shaped Sleeman bottle with no freshness date. Made a promising appearance, poured a semi-opaque red hued dark chocolate brown with a nice sized creamy pale tan head that reduced to a thin clingy bubbly lacing. Had faint, clean aromas, roasted chocolate maltiness, a little vanilla and fruity hoppiness. Medium carbonation and a slick light medium bodied mouth feel, not that drinkable. Had a watery roasted malty taste, a metallic bitterness and a dry thin roasted malty finish with a unpleasant metallic aftertaste.
