Aug 21, 2004 this has a malty mocha, play doe, mild aroma; flavor is weak with some chocolate and toffee, a hint a nuttiness; the palate is a bit watery and dry in the finish

Aug 9, 2004 rich woody/nutty aroma, classic dark porter appearance with a large and frothy off-white head, very rich and smooth in texture, higly complex flavours, nutty, chocolatey with hints of wood, lingering malty finish, superb.

Jul 26, 2004 I’m sure it had some flavor and some characteristics, but I just couldn’t detect anything after the stronger beer I’d just had. I’ll be sure to give this a fair sampling when it returns to Rich O’s.

Jul 6, 2004 500ml bottle: This one pours a fairly opaque brown color. There was a bit of a tight, tan head to it. Some lacing down the glass. Some roastiness to the aroma. Maybe some subtle fruits in there also. The taste is mainly roastiness, with hints of chocolate. A decent porter.

Jun 20, 2004 As far as porters go, this was average at best. Noticed a small trace of cherry, otherwise just a mellow, drinkable porter. Wish I had more to say, but I’m boring myself writing this much about this beer.

Jun 13, 2004 Deep brown in color with an almost pure white head. Slight fruitiness on the nose and wonderful overtones of chocolate and coffee sits very well on the palate. Nice hoppy finish.

May 24, 2004 Bottled. Dark brown with a beige head. Roasted, ash aroma. Not as full of flavour as I was hoping. Coffee and mocha, dry and short. Consumed with great anticipation after suffering through cans of Jobn Smiths and pints of Fosters at the cricket at Lords.

May 3, 2004 Porter? Maybe it was the cask conditioning, but I rather doubt that would influence the nature of the beast. Old Slug’s a good name. Seemed more like an old ale to me and m’lady. Did enjoy.
