| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Nov 18, 2007 Aroma is quite similar to the appearance of this beer, dark and coffee-like, lot’s of chocolate notes. Diminutive head, with a long flavorful finish. AN enjoyable beer that is in keeping with the Porter style. OSLO (826), Perth, Australia
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 17, 2007 [Bottle] Pours brown with a decent sized tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and a nuttiness that reminds me of Rogue hazelnut brown (albeit much more subdued). Taste is once again chocolate, roasted malt and coffee. Too thin, but quite smooth. Delayed dry finish. Fairly average. Guerde (699), Welcome, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 17, 2007 (bottle) Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Smells of coffee and dark chocolate to begin with, but upon warming more of a milk chocolate element emerges with some roasted malts as well. Taste is ipredominately chocolate and roasted malt, with a nice roasted coffee and light hop bitterness on the finish. A little thin, but not bad. tytoanderso (1385), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
