Dec 24, 2008 Poured dark brown with a hint of ruby. A thin bubbly tan head which disappeared quickly. No noticable aroma. A balance taste, dark, somewhat hoppy, but mixed with a chocolate sweetness. Light feel in the mouth - somewhat bubbly. Maybe too light for a porter, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Dec 18, 2008 The noisy pour from the bottle reveals a lightly brown head over a jet black body. Smell of dark roasted grain heading in the direction of chocolate. Pleasing flavour of dark fruits, cocoa and toasted grain. Medium bodied. Likeable [St Andrews, 08.11.2008]

Dec 14, 2008 This is very accomplished as Porters go and I was pretty surprised. A full flavor with coffee, dark chocolate only around the edges. Aroma that is merely dark. Its not spectacular at all, but is totally a very good porter, as GodOfThunder puts it.

Dec 10, 2008 Nothing really spectacular about this one, it is just a very good porter. Lots of roasted malt and a little smokiness on the finish. Pretty substantial mouthfeel. Nothing new or amazing, but it is a very good porter.
