Pours a deep brownish/black colorwith a small tan head.Aromas of coffee, roasted malts and chocolate and fruit (and maybe some hints of alcohol as well) Flavor matches aromas with hints of vanilla as well. Very smooth on the mouthfell. Leaves a nice chocolate/coffee flavor in your mouth. A wonderful porter!!

500 ml. Opaque brown-black, with a medium head. Chocolate coffee aroma. Flavor is cocoa, earthy wood, coffee and slight smoke. Medium body is roasty-dry and sometimes a bit too frothy.

Pours jet black with a moderate tan head. Aroma is intense, with chocolate, dark fruits and other malty/yeasty notes. In the mouth, it’s neither thick nor thin, with moderate carbonation. The flavors mimic the aromas, though it’s drier than I anticipated from the nose. Finishes on a coffee note.

Pours deep black with a small off white head. Aroma starts off with a huge espresso blast followed by chocolate malt and banana. Taste is silky smooth with a nice mouthful of coffee and chocolate malt. The carbonation is similar to soda when you roll it around in your mouth. Nice dry coffee like aftertaste. This is just a delicious beer and something that is a must try.

bottle- pours jet black, tan head, with some lacing. Had a nice roastyness, but not as smooth as I was hoping. there is a definite astringency here, found in a lot of impy stouts. I am not sure where it came from, but I did not enjoy it. Otherwise, the beer was very thick, filling, and enjoyable.

Pours deep black into a stem glass. Tan micro head subsides to layer surface leaving slight lacing. Deep chocolate and espresso aromas. Smooth with upfront chocolae and a slightly sour fruit finish.

Bottle from Beers of the World. Completely matte black pour with a really beautiful head of thick dense mocha cream. This is a nice looking porter. There is also some lacing on the glass that adds to its attractiveness. The aroma is surprisingly lacking. I can pick up some mild roast and some alcohol but not much else. The aroma is pretty weak. The flavor is a completely different story. The first sip told me I was going to like this beer, but as the first big mouthful roller over my tongue I am thinking more along the lines of love. The silky smooth body carries with it a delicate combination of creamy milk chocolate and some assertive but smooth and mild roast. It’s a big flavor but it weight lightly on the tongue. There are some traces of alcohol but all-in-all very good.
