Pours black, nice brown head. Very sugary aroma with lots of alcohol coming through. First sip is sweet sugary alcohol but the more it warms it fades away. Roasted malts, dark chocolate, dark roasted coffee beans, espresso, light vanilla, lots of smokiness, oak, some caramel and a big sugary sweetness. This beer is a very unique and complex beer, so many flavors going on it’s hard to pick them all up. The aftertaste is mostly smokey with roasted malts but the sweetness definitely sticks around. Medium mouthfeel with light carbonation is perfect for this beer. Very complex and well made beer but the sweetness kinda killed it for me.

Jul 21, 2008 Wow, never had a beer with a thick creamy palate like this one. Huge chocolate aroma hit me right in the nose as soon as I began to pour. Easily, the richest beer I’ve ever tried. Taste like fudge. Delicious! Only downfall would be the head didn’t last very long but that’s being very very picky.

Jul 21, 2008 Can 0,33l. I can see nothing special in this beer. The power is missing. I was very sad because i have look forward to taste this winning beer :-(

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle shared by Death with a K. Thanks Keath. Pours extremely dark brown, nearly black, with a brown head. Smells of booze, like a dark rum, licorice root, & coffee. Taste is once again boozy with some chocolate, coffee, licorice, and dark fruit notes. Really this is more of an imperial stout than a porter. Alcohol is a bit too noticeable for my tastes. Nice slow sipper but maybe just a tad overrated.

Jul 17, 2008 Bottle from Citybeer. Poured a dark brown with a small creamy head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit. Taste is very malty (roasted), with coffee, caramel, and a bit of hops. Mouth is pretty creamy. Very nice porter.
