Oct 10, 2007 Nice smoky, light chocolate aroma. Good chewy solid flavor, not too sweet, really a porter that makes the top of the list.

Oct 10, 2007 From a trade with oh6gdx, thanks Patrik.
Bottled(500ml). -Black coloured, cappucino brown head, chicory chocolate nose. Also, strong chicory and chocolate taste with notes of smoke. Rather bitter finish. Quite one-dimensional porter.

Oct 8, 2007 Bottle from Brewtopia in Omaha, NE
Pours opaque black with a brown head. Some lace, and the head lasted quite a while.
The aroma is mostly chocolate. Cocoa. Maybe a bit of Whoppers. A bit of grassy hop nose.
Very chocolatey flavor as well. There a welcome roasted bitter finish.
Nice milky texture. Some prickly carbonation.
This is a really good beer, I think it worth the 4.25 price tag. I’d sure like to see it in the KC area.

Oct 4, 2007 I only wish that this lived up to its aura and price. Bummer. You could get this same Porter in any number of other places. Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald comes to mind for starters. The best thing about it was the heavy cocoa in the initial sniff from the bottle. Never replicated it later on, in aroma, flavor or anything. Just some smoked character and hard-to-get-down drinking. Little flavor that I could manage to detect. The delightful head is the only highlight.

Oct 2, 2007 Bottle from Quaffs, Spitalfields. As dark brown as most stouts with a thick malty tan head. Nose of sweet roasted malt and coffee, some yeast, honey, vanilla and dark chocolate also. Taste is coffee, baking chocolate and malt. Dry, powdery palate with liquorice, cocoa and hop notes in the swallow. Excelent brew, up there amongst the best I’ve had...
