Oct 31, 2009 The color of the liquor is a paler porter than many--a ruby brown. It appears very clear. Modest head but it leaves a classic "British" style head.
Sweet, caramel candy aroma with a dash of semi-sweet chocolate tossed in for good measure.
Other than the slightly thin body, this is a superior porter. First surprise is that the beer is quite dry. The swallow features a hop bitterness, but the aftertaste is dark chocolate. Wonderfully complex. I note the alcohol level. Even though it is low, it’s more than most porters. Overall, it is an easy-to-drink and flavorful beer.

Oct 22, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Dark brown with a creamy tan head. Mild roastiness in the aroma along with a nice and rich chocolate and cream note. Flavor is roasted and burnt malts at the start with a bitter coffee and chocolate middle. Some hints of dark fruits come in through the end with a nicely roasted and bitter finish. Creamy and really smooth.

Oct 12, 2009 Beer Rep! Kind of rust color through the black instead of black. I don’t like that.Smells better. Nice and malty, chocolatey, nutty,molasses. Light but very nice. It tastes good and is accessible. Sort of thin for 5.7%. Not best porter, a little sour and blah but OK.
