| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 14, 2004 This has the color of a nice brown ale, deep brown, translucent with ruby highlights everywhere, but very tin color for a proper Porter.
Good aroma of chocolate and coffee hit the nose so maybe I’m wrong to judge by appearance alone.
The body is a bit thin for a Porter, but there is a decent chocolate and coffee flavor going on here to keep this out of the ditch. A little bit of work on this recipe would make it a real serious contender, but work still needs to be done first.

Nearly pitch black, fast diminsihing frothy head. Unpleasant burnt coffee nose. Nice coffee, licorice taste, thick and smooth.All in all unbalanced but decent. mribm (419), Hurley, New York, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 29, 2004 I had just finished drinking their IPA, when I saw this bottle and said...no I messed up and bought the same beer! Maybe my eyes and taste buds are messed up, but I thought this beer tasted and looked exactly the same as the IPA. Maybe the labels got mixed up, but this was NO porter! I wouldn’t try this beer again. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2004 This one poured brown in color. The server said they were trying a new malt with this, and the color was more amber than dark brown. Aroma of malt, chocoff. Tastes malty, with some nuts and chocoff in the finish. Very light in body for a porter, and not real complex. Volgon (2490), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 23, 2004 Brewtopia’04. Dark, reddish brown; little head. Burnt, roasty aromas, some tobacco.
