Jul 9, 2008 Very full beer. I loved the chocolate undertones, Sierra Nevada never lets you down.

Jul 9, 2008 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.

Jul 4, 2008 16.9 oz. bottle into pint glass. Pours a nice dark and hazy honey brown with an active and tall white head that doesn’t leave much lacing. It smells like a typical wheat beer with a spicy (a bit of nutmeg), slightly citrusy body. Flavor is soft and refreshing, as par usual with wheat brews but with some unique subtleties including a grape/cherry flavor on the finish. The alcohol is hidden remarkably well. It is light bodied with tingly carbonation on the palate. Overall: great refreshing brew that is dangerously drinkable. Great for the summer.

Jul 4, 2008 Pours dark brown with nice medium bodied head. Coffe and chocolate aroma. Taste is roast malt and dark chocolate. Mouth feel is a bit light but not bad. Rich coffee, caramel, and burnt malt finish that lasts and lasts. Most enjoyable.

Jul 2, 2008 12 oz bottle. Wonderful, complex flavor with fresh hops shining through the cocoa and coffee flavors of the malts. The mouth feel is a bit thin, though. A bit more intensity of flavor and more of a lasting finish would improve this beer immensly.

Jun 25, 2008 Updated: Jun 23, 2009Yummy. I love Porters, and this is a good example of why you, too, should love Porters. Great balance between subdued chocolatey sweetness and coffeeey roastiness. Medium bodied and smooth in flow. A fine mainstream standard-bearer for this wonderful style. Why did it take so long for me to try this?

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear red-brown body with tan head. Aroma of chocolate, malts, and bread. Flavor is more of the same with roasted malts near the finish and a light, green hop bitterness through the entire palate. Body is a little light for a porter.
