Opaque colour, beige head, good lace. Veggies, coffee and bitterness. Straightforward and a bit off-balance. Not bad, but nothing special. bierkoning (6052), La Tropica, Netherlands

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 30, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours the darkest brown known to man with a nice 2 finger beige head that left some spotty lacing. Aromas of toffee, chocolate. Taste was much of the same while the finish was very smooth and bloody delightful! (British accent) jerohen (1614), Bussum, Netherlands

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 23, 2009 Granted I’m not much of a porter guy, but I expected more from a FFF release. It looks great....like bpitch black tar in the glass, but the aroma and taste is a little off. It is powerful and thick, but I cannot say I really liked the flavor. nightrider (380), encinitas, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 22, 2009 Pour was dark brown and black with a mocha head. Aromas of sweet malt, hops and cocoa. medium light body and very smooth. Flavors are lovely with roasty malt, molasses and chocolate. Very easy to drink. Finish is sweet and light hoppy bitterness. One of the better Porters I have had. Soonah (945), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 20, 2009 From StFun via trade. The pour was dark with ruby on the fringes. A thin tan head formed and created spots of lacing. The aroma was sugary chocolate, roasted malts and some light citrus and floral hops. The flavor was milk chocolate, roasted, smoky malt and some light citrus hops. It sounds like I’m describing more of IS, but it really tasted like a porter with hops on the finish. The mouthfeel was almost full in body, very easy going down.
