| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 30, 2008 Pour is dark with light tan head. Aroma of smoke, dark malt, and a little bit of coffee. Taste is strong smoke with a very strong burnt flavor. I tasted too much coffee in this one. Otherwise, it was smooth but probably won’t buy again. SuzyGreenberg (1324), Seattle, Washington, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 28, 2008 Pours nearly black with a tall frothy off-white head. Aroma is a complex sweet, slightly roasted malt, with a little coffee.. The complexity comes from a mix of fruity and chocolaty scents. Flavor has a little sour fruity quality almost like a Belgian. Mixed in with this is some light chocolate. The finish is dry and leaves a lingering tart aftertaste. General66 (167), Streator, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 28, 2008 12 ounce bottle that was given to me by a few guys in line at Dark Lord Day 2008. Thanks guys! I must admit I am ashamed to say that I drank this one out of the bottle so I did not get a good look at the appearance or a full feel for the aroma. I do know that this is one tasty porter! The taste consisted of a lot of roasty malt with a bit of chocolate bitterness and some nuts. This was very tasty stuff! I am looking forward to trying this one again! checkmatei1 (630), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Pours dark brown from the bottle with tan head. Aroma is sweetly malty, with a little bit of roast. Medium light body with a fairly large amount of carbonation that finishes clean. Flavor is malty with a medium roast, a little bit of coffee and chocolate. A tasty, easy to drink dark beer for when something heavier like a big impy might be too much.
