Dec 24, 2007 An amazing beer when you think about the fact that the beer I had was bottled in clear glass. I think they might be making their beer in darker glass now, but the fact remains that the beer I had was in clear glass and it was wonderful. A nice aroma full of toffee, dark bread, brown sugar and a bit of chocolate. Appearance was a bit lighter than I’m used to. It looked a bit like a cola when poured. A nice head though throughout. Mouthfeel is spot on with a creamyness I really enjoyed. Flavors were much of the same as the aroma....chocolate, toffee but it was also a touch nutty. Very nice beer.

Dec 23, 2007 Tasted 11/29/07. Typical 550ml bottle. Dark with an opaque brown hue. Lacing taupe head. Aromas of dark fruit and a touch cocoa. Fudgy malty aromas. Raisins and a vanilla nuance. Big toast and dark fruit. Raiains and citrus. Touch acidic. Tingling effervescence with a medium bodied palate. Bitter hoppy finish. This is a great beer and a true example of the English tradition.

Dec 21, 2007 Pourse a dark with thick tan head. Slight fruity notes in aroma but mostly dark roast malt and chocolate malt. Nice dark roast flavor that coats the tounge. Excellent use of hops. Good porter, would buy again.

Dec 21, 2007 I like drinking this one ice cold, so the bottle frosts. It isn’t very complex, but it is super easy to drink, and the caramel and mouthfeel are extremely nice at this temperature. It just gets a bit more harsh on the carbonation as it warms, while the chocolate does come out a bit more then.

Dec 19, 2007 From the bottle pours dark ebony with a khaki head. You have to find a good store to buy these since they come in the clear bottle. Bitter roasted flavor, a bit smoked character, coffee and bakers chocolate up front, balanced grassy hop finish. Light in the body, very easy to drink.

Dec 17, 2007 What we get here is a really pretty beer in a clear glass bottle. In fact you cannot even tell that it is a clear bottle because the beer is that dark. It pours with a small beige head and has a powerful aroma of chocolate and yeast. Then the flavor. I got a thin bodied candy beer. It just tastes like chocolate with minor hints of roasted malts. A little bit of butterscotch there too. Not my favorite.
