Mar 29, 2005 On tap at Mcneills. Almost black, this one wears a nice film of laced beige silk, fully lasting. Typical chocolate and coffee aroma shows great evolution as it warms toward a moderate roastiness, smooth yet very malty and not too sweet. Smoky and highly roasty palate. It remains a diplomat, bringing along vanilla and tobacco hints to pair with an honest bitterness like a conciliator. Ultra smooth body seems to complement the flavour profile through its perfect carbonation and creaminess. Excellent!

Aug 26, 2003 Pours a Dark ruby brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma is mostly crystal and roasted malts. Semi-sweet chocolate and coffee body. Moderate hoppiness throughout with a dry roasted bitter finish. Decent porter, but somewhat thin and uninteresting.

Dec 6, 2004 Updated: Oct 18, 2009Coffee beans presume near-burnt malt roastiness...Green hoppiness slowly rises to stay within the bitter molasses...A traditional convoy of valiant porter flavors, with fuller and maltier body on tap than in some bottles...

Mar 29, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. Pitch black beer, thin white head. Aroma is quite earthy and fairly chocolatey. Bitter chocolate, and loads of roasted barley. Fairly full-bodied with bitter chocolate and a bit of dark roasted coffee. Palate is a bit watery, but the beer really comes across more like a dry stout than like any sort of porter. It’s still pretty good.
