| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jun 19, 2006 22 oz bottle, via dhlesq. Pours a very dark brown colored body with some mahogany edges under a large fizzy espresso colored head. Aroma is very chocolaty and dense with slight roast notes, espresso, and a light hoppiness. Flavor is equal parts chocolate malt, roast, and bright hoppiness. Notes of coffee and an astringent burnt malt finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a very distracting and annoying intense level of fizzy carbonation. Overall, this would have been really great were it not for the excessive carbonation ruining the palate and my overall satisfaction with the beer. calivania (62), USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jun 4, 2006 A truly wonderful porter. Fresh dry and filled chocalate and dark molases without being sweet. How do they do that? You forget that porter can be such an excellent platfrom for hops, but this one is. And it has one of the best mouth feels in the category. Thats where the relaxin’ happens.

Poured a very dark brown with a tan-brown head. A little sweet and a little roasty with a robust body. I would love another. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 23, 2006 This is a decent little porter. Sizeable tan head, with a great roasted malty aroma. Chocolate and coffee are dominant, just a bit of smokey woodiness, hints of vanilla and maple syrup. Tasty
