Mar 22, 2009 Thanks retorp for the share. Pours dark brown/ black with a nose of earthy coffee, dark fruit, vanilla, and some cherry?. Flavor is roasted malt, ripe dark fruit, coffee, bitter chicory, up through the finish. Very enjoyable porter that is medium-bodied and finishes clean and somewhat bitter. Great porter.

A fine porter.

Mar 1, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Dark, dark, dark pour with a big head. Definitely robust, which is how I like em. Roasty as hell. Some tobacco, some chocolate, plenty of awesomeness. One kickass porter.

Feb 15, 2009 500 mL. Pours almost pitch black with a very thin, tan head. Leaves fairly good lacing. Aroma of raisins, dark chocolate, raw cocoa, molasses, spiced rum. Taste is creamy with rum raisin, dark chocolate, coffee with a harsh bite of warming alcohol and roasted nuts. 7% is not totally hidden. Ends a little dry and watery but this is a porter not a stout. Very powerful and enjoyable.

Feb 15, 2009 First beer poured into my new Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl Champions mug. Pours a nice jet black color with a huge amount of froathy bubbly lighter brown head. Reminds me of an irish coffee in appearance. Aroma is actually rather weak: dark baking chocolate and molases. Flavor is very light in general, molases and a bit of dry sweet chocolate. Overall, not as good as I’d hoped but not bad by any means.

Feb 11, 2009 0.5 l bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. GUSHED!
App.: Deep brown black with a large, somewhat rocky light mocha head.
Aroma: Lots of tangy black coffee, dark chocolate and molasses, vinous, slightly woody, very dark dried fruits, some sour cherries, black licorice.
Palate: Medium+ body, fairly lively effervescence.
Flav.: Just like the nose – tangy black coffee and dark chocolate, a touch metallic, fruity and vinous, definite black licorice, thick and oily tasting; dry with slight tang and good bitterness with leftover roasted malts.
Pretty big for a Porter!

Feb 9, 2009 Pours a dark black with a large and bubbly dark brown head. Aroma is sweet and has hints of coffee, dark malts, and chocolate. The flavor is slightly sweet, with brown sugar, molasses, dark fruits, dark malts, and coffee. The coffee gets stronger on the finish. Very smooth beer.
