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.

Dec 16, 2007 The color is deep, deep brown almost black with a thick tan head. Aromas of toasted malt, nuts, barley, coffee, chocolate and molasses. The taste is toasted malt, chocolate, coffee, slate, earth, barley, hops, and a smooth sutle chocolate coffee finish. this a good and very well made beer that is easy to drink.

Dec 14, 2007 Updated: Dec 15, 2007The very best porter in the world. Nice pour, with creamy head. Smoky, almost Rauchbier-like odor, and a very robust flavor to boot. What you would expect from this highly-respectable brewery.

Dec 14, 2007 poured just about a whole big bottle into a samuel smith’s glass - pours black with a nice thick coffee icecream colored head - head fades quickly. Smells and tastes amazing taste - sweet notes at the end

Dec 14, 2007 Bottle. Pours black with think brown head. Nice aroma of roasted malts. Tastes about the same with some chocolate. A little harsh of a finish. Not bad.
