Apr 1, 2006 Bottle. Pours dark brown, almost black, similar to molasses, with a small frothy tan head that diminishes to a patchy film. Aroma is rich and fragrant dark chocolate, roasted coffee and a perfume floral hop with dark fruits (prune, raisin, plum) and trace port notes. Dark bitter and tart chocolate, fruity and hoppy acidity, finishes clean and malty. Dark bodied and fizzy.

Mar 19, 2006 A dark, chocolatey brown-red beer with a weak white head. A light toasty nose with hints of malt and hops. Sweet caramel and a slightly toffee finish. The taste is dry, bitter with the toasted malt element again and caramel, toffee sweetness. The finish is dry and bitter sweet. (Draught - @ the Norwich Beer Festival 2004).

Mar 18, 2006 Pours jet black with a light tan head, very pleasing to look at. Nice mild body with a very satisfying flavor. A distinct nuttiness and a crisp dry finish complement tastes of chocolate, coffee, and dark fruits. Overall, a fantastic porter.
