Bottle. [thank you, faroeviking]
Pours black with slight brown edges. A big, dense, creamy, light-brown head. Great duration. Aroma is sweet, good chocolate, some roastiness. Softly carbonated with a general nice creaminess - but seems a little thin. Flavour has lots of sweet, fat chocolate with a good roasted coffe note in the aftertaste. Some bitterness as well. Good porter!

bottle from west lakeview......pours dark brown with reddish brown edges. very thin soapy beige head.... aroma of roasted chocolate malt and maybe a little dark fruit but very little.... flavors of smoky chocolate malt with medium carbonation and body....i don’t have a whole lot to say about this one i’m afraid....not a bad porter but far from being a special one.

Very black. Aroma is quite normal, a bit malty. The flavor is strong at first with some hops in the finish. A basic porter i.e. very drinkable.

Pours a pitch black with a brown foam head with poor retention and some lacing with a wonderful chocolate aroma. Tastes dry and quite reserved, light notes of smoke, good hoppiness, warm and dry with an astringent, woody finish. Creamy but pinched (thin) body, passable carbonation. Very subtle, pleasant beer, well executed but not too adventurous.

(Bottled 10/2006) Black with light, tanned head. Nose is strong dark chocolate and soft burned malts. Flavor has liquorice and dark fruits. Finishes with coffee, chocolate and smoothly herbal bitterness. Medium bodied, round and a bit oily palate. Rich and satisfying, without being that heavy.

Black Pour. Fairly large and growing head. Aroma of cocoa,coffee a tad of licorice. Taste is similar to aroma. One of the better porters I’ve had tho I’ll admit the style is down on my list.

500 ml bottle. Black, almost pitch black, but there are some reddish hues. Thick beige and grey head that clings to the glass. Chocolatey aroma that leans towards cocao powder. Grassy hop aroma. Piney hop flavours and crisp carbonation balances a rich chewy chocolate flavour. Malty, but not really sweet, likely because of the amount of hops used. Bitterness lingers a long time together with oily chocolate. Delicious.

500ml bottle. Pours black with a crisp tan head that fades quick to nothing. Smells roasty and ashy/burnt. Also smells dark and fruity sweet. Tastes sweet and roasty, raisins and dark fruit. Medim body with good carbonation and a pretty dry mouthfeel.
