Oct 26, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a very inviting black. Nose very sweet caramel and chocolate flavors. They follow to the tongue with some hints of coffee. Very excellent porter!

Oct 25, 2008 From Wade’s Wines in SoCal. Hey, if this is the porter, I can’t wait to taste the Imperial Stout because I hooked up several. This one had a wonderful palate, smooth as can be coffee/fruit/choco-flavor, and superb maltiness. This one’s an art, and it costs that to boot.

does not count  Oct 23, 2008 Batch 336, brewed 28.01.08.
Large, medium tan head. Pitch black, unpenetratable and shiny colour.
A bit closed on the nose at first, but opens up after a while in the glass and the temperature rises a bit. Aromas of dark malts, raisins, chocolate, toffee and coffee with floral notes and hints of red berries and banana.
Medium to full bodied and smooth on the palate with good, fine bubbled mousse. The coffee is more pronounced in the taste than on the nose. Finishes with a long, fresh, grainy bitter afertaste.
Well balanced. Powerful, but still elegant. Wonderful porter!

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle from Vendome Liquors. Oil Black with small, tight, tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate and nice mellow coffee. Flavor follows with dark chocolate and coffee with a great blend of roasty malts with a very silky mouthfeel. The best Porter I’ve had to date.

Oct 17, 2008 I have been looking for this beer for some time. Pours jet black with a nice but small tan head. Aroma is plums and dark chocolate. No roasted notes. Flavor does have some roasted malt, caramel, milk, black licorice, dark fruit, and coffee. Some nice hops as well. It is nicely carbonated and both the roasted coffee beans and the hops can be tasted in the aftertaste that is a sweet roasted tart flavor. I love a good porter and this is a good one.
