Apr 17, 2008 Bottled. Massive aroma with oat meal, chocolate, grains, sweet coffee. Quite dark brown, thick beautiful beige head. Taste... sour! It has some addicting features, with its bitter sourness which continues in the finish. Excellent.

Apr 13, 2008 550ml bottle. Black body with a short light brown head.Sweet aroma of caramel, chocolate, roasted grain with hints of flowers, licorice and nuts. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Dry finish remains bitter with licorice aftertaste. Medium body with a lively carbonation. Watery texture that turns slightly sticky. Easy drinker with nice, bitter finish.

Apr 9, 2008 Very dark, almost black color. Poured a nice tan creamy head and left a good amount of lace. The head and lace seemed to lessen the further I got through the beer. Roasted malt aroma and flavor with some coffee taste in there too. Slightly tart and peppery. I can see this being a decent choice during the winter but something to stay away from during the spring and summer (for me). Medium to full bodied and rich. One of the best Porter’s I’ve tried, which generally is not one of my favorite styles.

Apr 5, 2008 Once again, from Samuel Smith’s, not what I had anticipated. It does have a good appearance and smell, but the taste isn’t there. It tastes a lot hoppier than I was expecting. Still fits the bill as a good porter with just some alternations. Dark and crisp with a small letdown in the middle
