Feb 25, 2009 The aroma is not much. It’s got a little bit of roastiness, with vanilla, dust, grass, and molasses. The appearance is brown with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin but OK. Overall this is better tasting than it is smelling.

Feb 20, 2009 Updated: Nov 15, 2009Tap @ rattle n hum in nyc. Awesome balance in this sucker. I caught myself reaching for this one again and again in the sample of 4. Pours dark brown. Vanilla, molasses, and toffee notes. Sessionable. Pint @ Pony bar.. notes of bacon were noticeable. Not as seasonable as I once thought.. still very full flavored.

Feb 18, 2009 Bottle. Not bad. No head and no lace. A workmanlike offering. Not bad but not great. It’ll do in a pinch.

Feb 11, 2009 Decent brew. Aroma is mostly dark fruit, vanilla, and booze. Pours dark brown and somewhat translucent. Tastes of bitter dark fruits and roasted chocolate. Smooth on the tongue with biting finish. Probably wouldn’t seek this one out, but may drink again at later date.

Jan 31, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown to black with a small beige head which left a ring of lace around the glass. The aroma is dark chocolate, dark fruit, molasses, vanilla and slightly vinous. The flavor is roasted malt, thick caramel, molasses, chocolate, dark fruit, with a slight bitter finish. Medium bodied and smooth.

Jan 19, 2009 Dark brown body topped by a thin tan head. Smells of cocoa and cola. Taste is sweet with notes of molasses, chocolate, and coffee. Decent.

Jan 18, 2009 Bomber obtained in a trade, as a thrown-in extra. Pours deep brown with frothy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, and vanilla. Taste was roasty and chocolate, with a light bitterness. Thin/medium mouthfeel. Pretty good, but as I’m new to the style, I will need to have some more Porters to compare, then maybe revisit the rating.
