| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 31, 2007 Bottle: Dark brown pour with a medium sized tan head. Light lacing. Aroma is roasty and chocolates, also a light coffee presence. Flavor is more roasty and coffee oriented with chocolate complimenting in the background. Hints of bitters in the tail. Nice and creamy. jmikolich (405), Athens, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 31, 2007 a bit disappointed in this one, tasted at first sip like boring crystal malt... not much flavor off the bat... then the backend comes with the nice porter taste.. but still just not as smooth or impressive as others... i had no dried fruit taste as the Comm Desc suggests...

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 29, 2007 Big brown-black color, lots of chalky smoky coffee and chocolate in this. A rich tasting porter. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2007 Pours a nice deep brown with a short-lived tan head and nice lacing. Licorice, earthy yeast, roasted malt, chocolate, smoke, and toast in the nose. Taste is bittersweet chocolate, burnt coffee, leather, dates, and a mix of toffee, caramel, hops, and cream. Some of that soy taste as well. Kind of thin in the mouthfeel. A very good beer, nonetheless.
