gws57 (995), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA Mar 29, 2008 Had this one bottled in St. Charles, Illinois; thanks Jim! Opaque, dark brown pour with a thick and foamy dark tan head, nice coffee and nutty nose; bitter chocolate and nuts continue into the flavor. Finish is dry and alcoholic. Very good.
SoberCajun (31), Somerville, Massachusetts, USA Oct 8, 2008 Aromas of malt and mocha, pours pretty dark brown, quickly dissipating head, but decent lacing. Flavors: roasty, toasted vanilla notes, some coffee. Pretty dry, drinks smooth. Not quite as full in body as I’d like for this style. glennmastrange (413), hobe sound, Florida, USA Oct 8, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of dark bread, toasted, dark chocolate and strong coffee, light notes of resin and earth for the hops and yeast, with brown sugar, vanilla and cola in the background. Head is frothy, off-white to light brown with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is dark brown with a red tint. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then the long finish is lightly acidic, moderately bitter and a touch sour. Palate is just about perfect, being medium bodied, oily in texture and has a soft carbonation. It finishes lightly dry. A great after dinner drink with an awesome mouthfeel. nqualls (422), Tennessee, USA Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark brown/almost black with a two finger tan head. Aroma of chocolate, toffee and maybe some alcohol. Flavor was roasty with nuts and bitter chocolate. Good beer. Needs a heavier body though. bconley (40), Fern Park, Florida, USA Oct 6, 2008 Taddy Porter was good. This one smells of chocolate and nice toffee. Very dark in color. I like the roasty quality in the taste. smjohnst (161), , Pennsylvania, USA Sep 30, 2008 This was a really good porter. It actually had a very alcohol type aroma to it but it did not drink that way. It was sweet and smooth.
