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.

12 oz. bottle - thanks again to TMC for this one; pours dark brown with light tan head; initial aromas are roasty and slightly bitter; very baltic-like; nice body and texture for a porter - medium and creamy with light carbonation; flavors remind of a baltic as well - chocolate and mild roasty; a great porter where texture is the name of the game

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.

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!

Bottle: Pours a dark brown with a thing tan head. The aroma was malty. The flavor reminded me of peanut butter, it was roasted and toasted peanuts. Overall, a very good beer!

Bottle thanks a great trader Acknud! This is super porter. Nice toast and grain smells with a darkish tan head. Beer is malty wtih a nice hint of hops. Well done again by the Bells brewery.

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.

Pours dark brown with a nice tan head. Smells of chocolate, roasted malt. Tastes of brown sugar, some chocolate, flaked oats, some mellow roastiness. Nice!
