12oz bottle served in an English pint glass. Pours dark brown with a big beige head. Smells of dusty chocolate and caramel. Nice balanced flavor with notes of dark chocolate and coffee, light bitterness. Nice head retention. Smooth on the palate with a very slight carbonation sting. Very good porter.

Nice deep ruby color from the caramel malt lovely full body, rich chocolate flavor well balanced bitterness from both the hops and roasted malt. good retention and lacing on off white head. Very good example of a standard porter.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a big off white head, lots of lacing. Nose isn’t too strong, but has roasted malt, chocolate, coffee. Taste is less coffee, but still plenty of malt and chocolate. Finish is lightly bitter. Mouth is smooth and creamy.

A smooth and very drinkable porter. There’s not much to be critical of here; This beer is strong in all characteristics. Nevertheless, it’s lacking something that I can’t quite put my finger on. Soul? Maybe. In any event it’s good, hearty, satisfying. Recommended.

Bottle @ Bar Code in Athens, GA. Was not disappointed with this unique porter. You wouldn’t think the citrusy taste that is Sierra Nevada’s trademark would go well with chocolate, but in this drink it works. Malty character with a noticeably chocolatey finish. Nice mouthfeel, not too thin but not too thick. Pretty tasty brew.

Cask at the White Horse, Parsons Green, 4th July 2008. Rich russet colour with a strongly alcoholic aroma and a decent weight in the mouth. Good flavours of smoky, chocolatey malts. Nice enough.
