| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 7, 2008 nice subtle sweet roasted malt aroma, with a touch of hops. Flavor is obviously chocolaty, with a touch of smoke, and some nice coffee, and roasty malt flavors. A nice porter, not too think, not too thick, just right, and very easy drinking. solid. french tickler (642), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 3, 2008 Pours a dark brown color with a thick head initially which fades rather quick. The nose is full of roasted malt and creamy chocolate and coffee. The flavor is extremely bitter and full of roasted malt. I like how well it is carbonated and how the roastiness stays on your palate for a while. BeerGestapo (740), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 3, 2008 Brewed in the USA !! Courtsey of AFI96 thanks Waylo. Pours a dark brown / ruby color with a small lasting tan head. Aroma of dark fruit, chocolate, and malts. The taste is of mild chocolate, coffee, a hint of molasses and some bitter hops. The mouthfeel is kind of watery for a porter but still very pleasant. probstk (1064), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Very deep brown with ruby hues, clear, decent tan head with ruby hues.
Aroma: Some dark-but-not-very-dark chocolate and medium-roasted coffee, a touch nutty, some light caramel and molasses, a little burnt sugar/toast
Palate: Medium body, moderate-soft carbonation.
Flav.: Much like the nose, there is some coffee and dark-ish chocolate, a bit of nuts, light molasses, some pine and dank hops; dry with a fair bitter kick and that same medium-roasted coffee lingering for a while.
Straight forward and well-made. FunkyBrewster (505), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2008 Pours a very dark brown with a nice fluffy tan head. Aroma is very sweet and chocolatey with some roasted malt notes and a subtle hop character. Flavor starts out sweet and a bit of milk chocolate. Bittersweet in the middle much like real cocoa andsome strong coffee bean flavors in the finish that linger. Medium-full body and moderate carbonation. Nice all around porter with a good spin on the classic style.
