Interesting chocolate and hop combination. Not one I'm likely to search out, but would drink it over a lager. Crit (2409), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada

Didn’t like the way that it bounced around in my mouth. Aftertaste is horrible. A friend opined that it was like ’giving head to an ox’. How he knows that I am not sure, but there you have it. For me, it was just too mild and nondescript. Indra (2036), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 2, 2001 All in all, not a bad porter, a bit on the thin side compared to how I generally like my porters, and very British indeed. (Hops?) I would be more inclined to buy more often it if it weren’t so expensive, $2.99 per pint. Oakes (8113), gone rambling, Cambodia
