RblWthACoz (959), Brooklyn, New York, USA Sep 11, 2007 Pours extremely dark brown with very little ruby light coming through with a one inch tan head that drops after a short while. Nose is malty sweet, but not very strong in statement. Flavor is robust and matured with slight chocolate and coffee tones...though I think I am drinking this too cold. It is definitely better as it warms. Mouthfeel is thick with a good carbonation and bubbly feeling. Highly drinkable. Could go for this one again, and again, and again.
gameface23 (113), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA Oct 5, 2008 Very dark pour with an off-white head that left nice lacing. Aroma was weak, consisting mainly of muted malt and coffee. Taste was better, with a mix of chocolate and coffee and some roastiness/smokiness. bretupdegraff (94), Fishers, Indiana, USA Oct 3, 2008 poured dark brown with nice head that disapated to a thin head that lasted forever. didn’t get much aroma but my smeller may not be working too well. Flavor is great - creamy and chocolate/malt/coffee - nice little bite in the aftertaste to mix it up - awesome palate - Very good and I plan to get some more of this stocked up. taalhiker (111), Dayton, Ohio, USA Oct 3, 2008 From bottle. Poured dark brown with thin brown head. Big chocolate and coffee smells. Sweet coffee flavors with a chocolate finish. Classic Anchor. Quevillon (1317), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Oct 2, 2008 Bouteille de 1Pt et 6oz, acheté à City Market (Burlington, Vermont) le 25/9/08. Brune cola, moyen collet. Arome de malte cafiné, avec des notes de ptits fruits alcoolisé. Goût bien malté, sensation de choco café, avec une finission de fruits rouges légèrement sûrette. Un bon porter malté et un peu sucré, simplement agréable! nqualls (422), Tennessee, USA Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a thin brown head into an English pint glass. Aroma of malt, chocolate and coffee. Flavor was awesome with balanced malt and coffee tones with a chocolate finish. Great beer.
