| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 14, 2007 Pours black with deep brown highlights and a one-finger white head. Great mocha aroma. Swirling brings out a unique toasted raisin smell. More of the roastiness comes through in the flavor, but the relative lightness and milk chocolate finish remind you you’re drinking a Porter. Good stuff. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 14, 2007 12 oz bottle. Very dark brown with a creamy brown head. Definite chocolate and coffee presence in the nose and flavor. Solid malt base. Medium body. Not a thriller, but a solid brew. Hudspart (371), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 11, 2007 Now this is quite nice. Aroma and color seem right on. I’m getting a softer rounder roaster aroma with very little harshness. It slides across the tounge and I expected some harshness but I was pleased to get some great, dark, almost toffee-like roastedness. Very excellent display of this style. mcox90 (626), Wilton, USA
