Reddish-brown pour with a beige head. Nice roasted aroma. Flavors are well balanced..chocolate, coffee, sweetness, and a dry finish. Hops are present but it is part of the balance. A good beer that I am glad is available again in my area.

A good mouthfeel with and oily to watery texture. Good carbination makes this a very refreshing beer. This is sweet and medium bodied. Very well done.

Deep brown/black beer, thick tan head. Aroma is quite rich and sweet. Loads of cocoa/chocolate and a soft herbal character. A little bit chewy and sweet with loads of rich cocoa and chocolate. Lightly chewy with a bit of cocoa and dark malts. Very smooth and well-balanced. Lovely.

From bottle. Deep dark black colour with a thin tan lace. Aroma is a lovely mix of chocolate, roasted coffee, toffee and berries. Smooth texture with a flavour of roasted malt. Great porter.

Pours a deep ruby- almost pitch black with a fantastic two-finger, creamy, tan head that lasts throughout. Aromas of roasted malt, milk chocolate, raisins. Taste is medium bodied with some spicy hops and cocoa . Finish adds a nice touch of bittering hops. Oily mouthfeel. Aftertaste is muted hops with some milk chocolate.
