Bottle. [Tasting @ Papsoe 20-10-2008] Large creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Very dark mahogany color. Aroma of roasted malt, mild chocolate and coffee. Over the palate came sweet chocolate, mild dried fruit and a hint of smoked like liquorish. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor with light bitterness. Lingering sweet chocolate finish.

Pours dark brown with a medium sized dense head. Smells roasted, malty. Taste is very good - malty, roasty, slightly bitter. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Very good porter.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market in Charlottesville. Batch 8750. Pours a deep, dark brown with a huge medium frothy head. Nice lacing and retention. Straightforward roasted malt aroma with some caramel and hop notes. Taste is nutty, coffee, roasted malts and subtle fruity notes. Full bodied.

Poured from a 12oz bottle (Batch 8681) and served in an English pint glass. This beer poured a dark brown with a thick head of creamy tan foam that slowly faded away. Some spotty lacing was left around the glass. The aroma was made up of roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, and light smoke. The flavor included a smooth blend of roast, chocolate, smoke, and coffee. A light hop bite at the finish kept things in check. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Soft and silky smooth. A pretty standard porter, but highly quaffable. Makes a great session brew for the fall.
