Jun 12, 2004 Updated: May 14, 2008Clear, very dark, garnet ale with a mid-sized, creamy, well-tanned head. The nose is of dark chocolate, mild coffee and French oak. The flavor is well-balanced and offers notes of chocolate, coffee and straw. A bit thin and watery, though. Medium-bodied with feather soft carbonation. Short, roasty, watery finish. A quality session brew for newbies, but the Blackwatch Bourbon Barrel Aged Cream Porter is definitely the better way to go.

Jun 2, 2004 Updated: Oct 10, 2005Even the best of the light-bodied porters get little respect around here. This one boasts a huge molasses and caramel nose and silky sweet chocolate flavors. Thin, yes, but a flavorful session porter.

May 29, 2004 Poured midnight black with a decent tan head. Fair amount of dark roasted malt in the nose with coffee and dark chocolate lingering. Initial palate was too fizzy, especially when you’re drinking something called a "cream porter". Flavor was that of burnt malt and espresso which was tasty, but quite short-lived. A bit thin and lightweight overall. If you want a "creamy" porter, pour a glass of Anchor.

May 21, 2004 Very dark, tan head. Burnt malt aroma, a little coffee. Flavor was kind of burnt again, some chocolate. MOuthfeel was fairly creamy, but also a little thin. Not bad, not great.

May 20, 2004 Bottle bought home from holiday and purchased from Vendome Liquor, North Hollywood, Los Angeles. Pours with an espresso head. Smooth, sweet aroma with a liqueur hint. Short, concentrated flavour burst. Fizzy feel, slightly lemon with an almost powdery quality. Very light, not much finish.
