| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jan 11, 2009 Poured to a dark brown with thin off-white head that lingered shortly and dissipated, with a little lacing. Aroma was a pleasant chocolatey coffee, but this was the best of it for this beer. Mouthfeel was thin and watery and the flavor never did quite live up to the promise of the nose. Finish was short, again due to watery nature, and the lack of any alcohol presnece. Not a terrible beer, just not a real good winter warmer. Beerman6686 (1287), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma was of coco powder mainly and thats about it. Flavor was really watery, but reminded me of liquid tootsie rolss with a mixture of chocolate and caramel, not quite as bad as i was expecting from this company wheelz843 (211), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Dec 26, 2008 came highly recommended to me by some people in my beer and wine departments, lets see... low head, dark brown .. smell is of a metal tin with coco powder and mud .. taste is kind of enjoyable but lacks any kind of character or real backing.. as simple as a beer can get... thehoff (569), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 5/20 | Dec 25, 2008 Another beer from my father in law. Nice six pack christmas present. Smells like a strong chocolate porter, some coffee maybe, a little dry dark fruit. Very dry mouthfeel. No great flavor at all, very mild and not very much like a porter.I dont taste anything like cocoa here. As I read a little here, yes flat and thin.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 23, 2008 A decent porter, but very plain. Aroma was nice if not a little weak. All chocolate with just a hint of stale roasted malt. Pour was a deep dark brown with a tan film on top for a head. Taste was very thin and watery. Oily chocolate with a watery aftertaste. No aftertaste to speak of and very little carbonation. Blah. brewski519 (415), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 22, 2008 From a 12oz bottle this beer pours a dark brown with a thin tan head that dissipated fairly quickly. Scent of roasted malts, chocolate and honey. The honey comes through a little too strong for me on the taste as well. Very thin mouthfeel. I was expecting a beer with much more of a chocolate kick to it (think Youngs Double Chocolate) but that was not the case. Rather flat with little on the finish. I had high hopes for this since I have enjoyed a few of Tommyknockers other brews but this one did not quite live up to my expectations.
