puboflyons (589), New Hampshire, USA Sep 20, 2009 On tap of course. It pours brown to black with some ruby tints when held to the light. It is topped with a tan, foamy head. I really did not note any distinctive aroma. There was a freshness about it but no chocolate scent as is typical with a porter. The mouthfeel tended to be on the thin side. The taste had bitter and malty air to it along with a decent hop chaser. ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Jul 30, 2009 Black with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity with licorice. Fruity sweet flavour with toffee and licorice, and a strong roasted charcoal note in the finish Dickinsonbeer (3434), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Feb 15, 2009 Tap at Millys. Nice deep dark brown almost black and nice. Head ok lace. Aroma is intense fresh dark chocolate- and toasted malts, almost burned malts, slight char- brown nutty malts, and a slight herbal hop kick. A little roast in the flavor- lots of chocolate malts, nutty, toffee, light fruitiness, adn a good caramel middle- nice smooth finish. Great Porter. fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Oct 12, 2008 Cask (gravity) @ Great British Beer Festival, GBBF 2008, Earls Court, London, England SW5. Clear dark brown color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, coffee, berry - sour, spicy - herbs. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is flat. (050808) MesandSim (5790), London, Greater London, England Aug 16, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at GBBF. Black brown with no head. Fruity and raw, slight bready malt, delicate roasty notes.

RichardGretton (3128), Leicestershire, England Aug 9, 2008 Cask@GBBF 2008. Black beer with a weakly malty aroma and flavour.
