Jul 15, 2008 Bottle. Black pour with ruby hightlights. Slowly diminishing tan head. Aroma displays malts — roasted grain, chocolate, nuts and a hint of hops, particuarly pine. Hints of chocolate and coffee. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. However, it finishes up moderately bitter and moderately acidic and leaves hints of smoked peat and roasted malts. Wonderful creamy texture and medium body. Lively carbonation. Smooth, clean, nicely bittered porter with pleasant, somewhat complex aroma and lots of flavor.

Jul 12, 2008 Dark brown pour, tan head. Roasty and earthy in scent and flavor, just a hint of mocha. Great in the mouth and smooth going down. Lingers nicely a bit, but clean. Side note, Scandanavian porters are the best, close second English, then US.

Jul 3, 2008 Sample courtesy of piscator- very rich pouring brew. Nose- lots of roast and dark chocolate. Taste- dry, little smoky, good roast and medium bodied. Carbonation is on low side which improves drinkability.

Jul 3, 2008 375ml bottle LooseCannon was kind enough to split with me. Black as they come with a brown head.Toasty, chocolate cocoa like nose, a splash of coffee. Body is thick, seems a bit flat. Rich chocolate flavors, sweet, a hint of vanilla and a light floral bite. Very good!

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drugs. Opaque black with a medium tan head. Prominent roasty mocha nose, very nice. Mmmm very deep, roasty rich chocolaty flavor with the perfect amount of caramel sweetness underneath. Very well balanced with a little citrus hop note in there. Not astringent or bitter. The takeaway flavor is caramel chocolaty goodness. Alcohol content very well hidden. Doesn’t have a thick body like some stouts; more like classic medium/light porter body with soft carbonation. Very flavorful and drinkable. Highly recommended.
