| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2004 Very dark, crystal clear, ruby ale with a fizzy, tan head. The aroma is malty, chocolatey and roasted. Notes of coffee, hazelnut, milk chocolate and vanilla. The well-balanced flavor mirrors the nose. Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, roasted finish. Nice porter! CaptainCougar (5530), Rockville, Maryland, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 22, 2004 Deep black with a medium brown fizzy head that dies quickly. Smoky blck licorice sharp aroma, like oil, some hoppy pine and some mint. Pinecones come to mind. Thick and syrupy and a good smooth body. Black and smoky, with small hints of sweet fruit, the finish is an abrasive smoky oil flavor. Impressive. Some cherry evident in the long-lasting finish.
