| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 12, 2006 COffee, dirty water, brackish. Head is too small, lightly tanned bubbles. Recedes to nothing. Smells toasted malts, nuts, caramel. Taste is malty, cool and minimal. Very drinkable porter great with wings or other spicy things. By itself though, I get predominantly pencil shavings, lead, and coffee. Some soapiness. Not much in the aftertaste, maybe dark grapes. Actually decent lacing. gunnfryd (3603), Kristiansand, Norway

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 14, 2006 Dark burgundy-brown body with a moderate grayish-beige head. Lots of chocolate malt and mocha in the aroma, plus moderate roast and light earthy hops. Flavor suggests cocoa powder and is grainy and roasty. Semi-sweet with a short finish and emerging bitterness. Light-bodied, but amply flavored porter. Overall this is a flaccid, overly constrained porter. For some reason I also wrote "spinach pizza" in my notes, but I think that’s unrelated.
