Pours an opaque dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is nice and full, malty, chocolate aroma. Full bodied flavor. Choclate and coffee notes. Nice and malty. A bit bitter, but not in the hoppy way. Pretty smooth for a brew as full-bodied as this is.

Aug 19, 2008 550 ml. bottle, pours a mocha colored head, no lacing, nice blackish brown color, nose with bits of coffee, chocolate, cocoa, similar flavors, not much hop, well balanced. A slab of beef would go nicely.
flatmatt (69), Northville, Michigan, USA
Aug 19, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours black with a medium fizzy head that quickly dissipates to a ring. Aromas of sweet dark fruits, roasted coffee, a little chocolate, and some definite alcohol. Flavors of roasty coffee and chocolate, with just a touch of brown sugar and dark fruits. Fairly nice porter, maybe just a touch weak as far as palate goes.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours an almost opaque black with a tan head. Mouthfeel is light, with a very roasted flavour, but no bitter aftertaste, which makes it easygoing with many meals. Very nice.
