2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Bottle- pours out a dark brown with a burnt orange head. Aroma was sour, a little rancid. Fortunately the taste didn’t follow suit. Sweet black coffee with some obvious alcohol. Palate was thin and heavily carbonated. Not my cup of tea. Average.

Wow is this good. Seeing it say 5.6% surprised me. The flavours that come from this you would normally see in at least an 8 or 9. So rich with chocolate, plum, some coffee, and prune. Simply one of the best porters I’ve tried so far.

4.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Botella comprada en El Cervecero, Las Rozas. De color negro opaco y espuma beige oscuro, el aroma viene cargado de malta, café, regaliz y chocolate. En boca presenta un cuerpo medio-denso y un sabor inicialmente dulce, especialmente azúcar moreno, que en seguida da paso al amargo, donde los aromas mencionados encuentran su correspondencia, esto es, regaliz y café a mansalva que finalizan un trago muy completo. Una porter estupenda, prueba del buen hacer y la maestría de esta cervecera americana.

Dark, full-bodied, roasted malt, coffee and a strong chocolate character. Really enjoyable porter.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours very dark brown, light brown head. Aroma of not much roast, a lot of chocolate malt, banana. Flavour is banana and chocolate. Sweet finish. Can’t say it’s my favourite style of porter.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Black, merest tint of ruby; tan head; fruity, hoppy aroma; roasted malt, smokiness and American hops; the very definition of solid.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle. The pour was a deep dark murky black with an average (1-2 finger) medium beige frothy head that reduced down to a thin scattered film with a large collar, and produced some fair spotty lacing.
The aroma was of a roasted bread malt, mild resin hops and an earthy yeast with notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, toffee, dark fruit (figs) and a whiff of smoke.
The taste was lightly sweet with a bold malty roastiness and hints of toffee and chocolate in the beginning, becoming much bitterer with a large coffee presence, a mild fruitiness and had a hoppy smoky finish. The flavor hung on for a nice long time proceeding the swallow, with a bitter roasty smoky taste left behind to linger on the taste buds for a while longer.
Mouthfeel was just a tad under medium in body with a dry, oily texture and a surprisingly fizzy carbonation.
Overall this was a very tasty and satisfying brew with a smooth roasty bitterness, which was offset nicely by a mild sweet fruitiness. Simply said this is a well balanced and enjoyable brew... www.facebook.com/KAJIIsBeerReviews

One of the best porters out there, coffee and roastiness on the nose and taste. Simple and well rounded.
