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.

May 14, 2008 Wonderful brew, pours dark and heady with plenty of body, aromas of chocolate and coffee, flavor is very complex for a porter with tastes of coffeee and chocolate to the forefront, compares quite well with Anchor porter.

May 12, 2008 could there be a better beer in america? i vote no. larry bell does a handful of ok beers, some good and a few that are truly spectacular. this is one of the spectacular. rich and not for the feint of heart. heavy on chocolate maltiness, smoke and even and steady flavor. this beer perfectly accompanies a steak, burger or a cold winter evening in the recliner. like a good cigar, larry’s flagship porter satisfies. on this continent it’s great lake’s edmund fitzgerald of larry’s stock porter.

May 11, 2008 Dark brown hue with an average sized tan head. Notes and flavors of chocolate, roasted coffee, smoke and metal. Medium to light bodied. Decent but average. Kind of an off flavor in there as well.

May 4, 2008 Very solid brew! Poured a very dark brown with nice off white head. Aroma was smoke and malt. Very smooth and simple taste of coffee and smoked malt. Would drink again.

May 3, 2008 Pours black with large light brown head. Aroma of strong smokiness and dark malts. Ultra smooth smoky flavor. Quick almost watery finish, lacks complexity. Simplistic and good.
