May 22, 2006 Jet black beer with resinous hop aroma combined with rich, dark roasted grains. The flavors fought eachother a little, and added to the confusion was a definite, hot, alcohol presence. Somewhat fruity with distinct bittersweet chocolate. A pretty tasty beer, but a little rough around the edges.

May 13, 2006 Bottle Pours a clear dark brown with a fizzy light brown head. Head is pretty diminishing with good lacing. Has a great malty aroma of good chocolate. Has a little grain too and just enough hops to keep in blended very nicely. Has a thin texture and a mediun body. A decent amount of carbination. Has good flavors. Definately not a beer that would make you afraid of the dark. Has a nice light bitter finish. This is very good, well done 3F’s.

May 7, 2006 Nice deep dark almost jet black body. Espresso, chocolate and roasted malts in the aroma, with some essence of hops. Taste is of coffee, roasted malt and chocolate.

May 5, 2006 Derek, the Porter King, comes through! Thanks for sharing! Deep opaque brown pour with thick mocha froth and stout like lace.Strong coffee aroma with good levels of hopping, dark chocolate, molasses, and roasted coffee beans. Lots of bitter chocolate coffee flavours mingle well and leave a simmilar aftertaste. Large bitter chocolate finish. Thanks for sharing Derek!

May 5, 2006 Thanks Pailhead.. One of the best aromas I have ever smelled... Huge Mocha Coffee aroma with a solid backing of licorice vanilla and spices. Poured a midnight black with a foamy tan brown head .. Big Malty flavor with roast and carmel. Followed by a nice hit of toffee. Thick as a porter can get .. But we cant forget about the hops... very nice ..

May 5, 2006 Alpha Klaus is the best porter I’ve had. Potent, coffee, licorice, grapefruit, huge head out of the bottle. Big Time Flavor with nice hop malt mix. Can’t do better in the porter department than this.I have one rated higher and another equally rated. Tough to pick who’s best.

May 4, 2006 Bottle. Pours a deep black body with a small mocha-ish head. The aroma is bursting with chocolate essence, coffee roast bitterness, toffee, and a touch of anise. Seriously. Thick and rich flavoured body. Loads of layered chocolate... dry and bitter throughout. Silky smooth stuff. Excellent! Thanks for sharing this, Derek.

Apr 29, 2006 A damn black porter, shows basically no red, with a sparse head. Tons of chocolate aroma and flavor, rum, spicey, earthy hops. OIly body with oxidation. Hoppy but not very bitter. I was disappointed but it’s still a good beer.
