Jun 1, 2008 Pours a dark chocolate color with an inch of cream colored head and little retention or lacing.
Smells of dark roasted malts.
The taste has initial hints of chocolate and coffee, finishing with a moce roasted malt flavor.
Great balance in the mouth, good carbonation level, but leaves the mouth a little dry.
Excellent beer, but not for sessions. One or two of these and I’m done.
Serving type: bottle

May 27, 2008 Smells nice and fresh. Black and tan. Even aroma of choc espresso with freshness. Taste: smoky malt with espresso choc. Mild chew, proper for porter. Not as over the top fruity as some porters can be.

May 26, 2008 Bottle and on draft. Pours a brown body with a light white head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, vainlla. Flavor is such but comes together in a rather boring way. eh.

May 24, 2008 Dark opaque draft. The smell of heavy roasted malt with a bit of straw and hay? Strong roasted coffee flavor. This one has a nice earthy gritty feel to it. A good porter.

May 19, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of Schroppfy. Pours a black color with a tinge of amber highlights. The head is tan and generous. The aroma was muted, murky and dusty. The flavor chocolate, dark roasted malts and mocha. The mouthfeel was full and creamy. The finish was medium and dry with a bit of lingering walnut flavor. Overall: A very decent, drinkable porter. Recommended.

May 15, 2008 Pours nice dark brown with a hint of red and a finger of light tan creamy head that dissipates quickly and leaves a little lacing behind. Very nice roasted malt aroma with some chocolate notes. Excellent smoky roasted chocolate malt flavor with a very nice coffee finish. Great porter, wish I had more.

May 14, 2008 Bottle thanks to EithCubes. Pours a deep brown with a thick beige head. The aroma is a rich smokey and roasted malt, also some caramel. The taste is full of so many flavors; caramel malts, rich smoke and roasted flavors, some coffee and chocolates. So well balanced. I’m a sucker for a good porter and this is a top notch one. Man I love Bells.
