May 3, 2005 Pours a deep chocolate brown with a huge, tan wedding cake head and plenty of chunky lacing. Smells of tasty coffee, vanilla bean, and hints of chocolate/mocha. Rich and oily with plenty of dark malt and vanilla taste. A hint of berries late. A bit too flat - would’ve liked more carbonation. Very good overall - would definitely buy again.

Apr 21, 2005 1 pint 0.9 fl. oz. bottle. Deep mahogany pour with super-thick fluffy dark khaki head that leaves thick wads of lacing. Vanilla beans, chocolate malts, coffee and irish cream liqueur in the nose. I start to pick up the juicy blackberry aromas toward the bottom of the glass. Super-thick, rich and smooth body. Packed with roasty malts. Pretty dry and bitter hoppy finish. Starts off with chocolate and roasty coffee and finishes with some hops and some dark fruits. Hints of blackberries, cherries and raspberries in the finish. I believe this is the best porter I’ve ever had.

Apr 17, 2005 Cask Conditioned, gravity poured at Banbury Beer Festival ’05. Dark brown colour with malty head. Finally caught up with this one, dry bittering with roasted chocolate malts. A little too thin for me but I did get the fruits with a touch of Raspberry. Reasonable.
