| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 23, 2009 Tap at Barcade. Apparently this sucks, but I thought it was quite decent. Aroma is donuty, kind of salty, with roast and potato. Flavor has a touch of pumpkin, a bit of cocoa powder, some lactic acid, cheese and toast. Fairly mild all around, with a decently thick body.

Aroma is roasted malts with a slight yeasty smell as well. Taste is roasted malt, slightly sour for some reason. Not bad, not great. joergen (8610), Frederiksberg, Denmark

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 13, 2008 Deep mahogany with a brown head. Nice roasted/blackened malty aroma. Medium body. Rich, hearty porter flavors of blackened nutty malts with some cocoa powder. Finishes on the dry side. StFun (535), Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 2, 2008 Fairly nice porter. Nothing to scream about, but much much better than a lot of porters I have had. To start, it is never really watery, which wins a lot of points with me. Nice bold aroma for a porter, with bakers chcoclate, malt, and roast. Pours a nice light black. Flavor is much the same as the aroma, with some nice hop notes and some candy swimming around. Maybe a touch of some licorice or dark fruit. A bit underrated I think, this one is pretty damn good. tjthresh (1774), Greenfield, Indiana, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a thick light brown head. In both the aroma and flavor you get a lot of roast with a bit of an oat character. Pretty bitter. Medium body with fine carbonation. Easy to drink middle of the road porter.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 29, 2008 The beer had a great appearance as it was a dark brown with reddish tint on the edges. However, after that it disappointed. The aroma was faint. In the taste it had all the typical porter notes, but just seemed to be a little off and had a slight metallic aftertaste.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jul 18, 2008 Courtesy of bdigi66. Pours with a ridiculous fiver finger thick, bubbly, mocha head. The body is a dark ruddy brown. The aroma is cola and herbal hops with a hint of nutty notes. Light chocolate, toasted malt, cola and a very faint hint of tartness. Tastes much better than I expect from the pour, but still not exactly a great beer int he flavor department.
