Very dark red indeed with a huge beige head. Roasted malt and medicinal licorice aroma. Flavour is moderately roasty wiith minor chocolate and aniseed accents. I was left with a feeling of nothing great or distinctive about this one.

Dec 17, 2009 $10 / 6er- Wow, little surprised with this one. I’m definitely going against the grain here and rating this much better than average. Nice sweet / bitter balance with good mouth feel.

Dec 14, 2009 Petrol Station beer dinner with Left Hand. Pours a dark brownish black with no head. On cask. Nose of chocolate, hops, toffee and mocha. Flavor is the same, with a soft, smooth finish and lingering flavor.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottle - Pours brown and clear with a huge cream-colored head. Smells of chocolate with a touch of whiskey, cinnamon, and a touch of booze. Taste is bitter malt and a bit of sour, with caramel and some breadiness. Also a touch of whiskey booze on the finish. It’s a bit watery and thin, but still glass-coating. Weird. Solid brew, but nothing special.

Dec 10, 2009 A: Dark and black like a lump of coal. Pours with a three finger billowy head that dies down to a thin sheet covering the top of the beer. There is some lacing left behind. It looks rather nice.
S: Not an overly strong smell but what is there is nice. Wonderful roasted malt, sweetness, and a hint of charcoal.
T: It has a nice maltiness to it. I taste a ton of malt with a hint of charcoal. There is a mild sweetness about it but there is no real coffee taste evident. There is just a hint of chocolate though. Would like a little more of both. There are better porters out there.
M: Medium bodied, a little thin actually there is a nice effervescence about it though. The charcoal quality in the taste helps it to linger a bit.

Dec 9, 2009 Dark brown pour with an off white head. Nice lacing around the glass. Smell of yeast and caramel come through. Flavor of caramel, chocolate, and a bit of hops at the end. A very good tasting beer.

Dec 7, 2009 Pours clear dark brown with a 2 finger creamy beige head. Aroma is roast, chocolate, light roasted nuts, a little earthiness and planty hops. Flavor is starts of with lots of sweet chocolate, some roast, sweet dark caramel, light hazelnut and planty hops. Finishes with chocolate, roast and a char, nut and mineral water fade. Palate is light ot medium bodied, with a soft, medium carbonation and somewhat creamy texture. Pretty good overall, doesn’t really stick out in any specific way, just a nice, solid porter.
