A high overall rating due to a great tasting AND very drinkable beer. The palate is its downfall, but also makes it a fantastic beer to enjoy the great taste of a fine porter without having to nurse it and think about every little sip. You can almost gulp this beer and still appreciate it. Nose of chocolate covered raisins and a hint of yeastiness. Flavor is big malts, and again, chocolate covered raisins. Let me tell you, that flavor is fantastic in a porter. Anyways, the downfall is that it is a little light on the tongue, and there is just a tiny hint of wateriness before the hops dry out the finish and round it out. A great beer but it could be a little heavier, then it would be perfect.

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.

Pours a very dark brown with a tall and thick light brown head. Fantastic aroma of coffee and sweet roasted caramel malts. Mouth feel is very smooth and creamy. The initial taste is very sweet, a little bit of nutty chocolate. The finish is a lightly caramelized coffee bean. Very delicious aftertaste to a well balanced beer.

This bottled brew from Patrick767 at a rating party poured a head of bubbles that were and left behind a opaque no visible carbonation black colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was brown malt mild hop and dark malt. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start mediumly tingly at the finish hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of dark malt and brown malt. A decent one that I would consider having again.

black, small but firm film of head. Aroma of roasted nuts, roasted malt, coffe beans and something you would find at a burning fireplace. Taste is a bit hoppy, with tangling carbonation. Well balanced, long aftertaste of mocca, malts and hops. Very nice example of the style
