Mar 1, 2008 Bottle poured into pint glass- poured extremely dark brown with some blackness, huge tan head formed and stayed around for awhile. Aroma of roasted malts, scattered with notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and hops, very appealing. Hits the mouth with a thick medium body, very rich on the mouth, malts along with previously said notes come through clearly, finish dissolves away. Very enjoyable.

Mar 1, 2008 Poured a dark ruby brown, almost pitch black, with a thick tan head with unusually large bubbles. Mostly chocolate and coffee aromas, but I could also sense some nuttiness. Chocolate flavors with nuttiness that was more pronounced than in the smell. Additional flavors of roasted malts, then some dark fruits. A wonderfully complex beer. Rich, creamy, smooth - all in all, a very pleasant beer.

Feb 22, 2008 Pretty much a black pour, one of the darkest I have ever seen. Lots of chocolate taste with a hint of some fruit. Most delicious. One of the best porters I have ever had. Would buy again quickly

Feb 19, 2008 550ml - Aroma is very malty with molasses, chocolate, vanilla, roasted barley and a touch of hops. Pours black with a medium brown head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with the signature SS rusty water taste that fades into a ton of chocolate. Palate is sticky. One of my all time favorites and a classic example of a great porter.
