radagast83 (1273), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Apr 5, 2007 Bottle. Deep dark brown color, with off-white head. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, and roasted malts. Flavor is smooth and has a really nice creamy flavor to it. Malt balance is great. mhelgason (495), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Apr 1, 2007 Bottle. Off-white head, creamy, average head (mostly lasting). Very impressive lacing. Black body. Aromas of chocolate, caramel, toasted malts, and some smoke. Flavor is initially lioght bitter and finishes moderately bitter. Watery texture, Lively carbonation. Long duratin of flavor. Light to medium bodied. This porter was good but a bit weaker than I would have liked. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 28, 2007 Pours brown with a frothy mocha head. Smells of roasted coffee and tastes much the same but with a smoother sweetness. It is nice and creamy as well. tkhans (50), Bangor, Wisconsin, USA Mar 24, 2007 nice beer with plenty of taste nice roasted chocolate malt/coffee with a nice hoppy kick
anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden Mar 22, 2007 Bottle. Thanks to SB for this one. Pours a black color with a tan head. Roasted malty aroma with some hints of chocolate. Roasted malty flavor with lots of coffee and chocolate. Roasted malty finish with lots o coffee in the aftertaste. masonjer (560), Holt, Michigan, USA Mar 20, 2007 Updated: Sep 9, 2008Very nice example of the porter style. Poured with a great dark tan head that lasted. Roasty, with hints of chocolate and coffee. Nicely balanced, easily drinkable. Good, but nothing to really seperate it from a lot of others. Could be a little thicker, but overall, a solid porter. brownaler (379), Topsail Beach, North Carolina, USA Mar 16, 2007 Dark brown appearance with large light tan head. Aroma is chocolate and hazelnut with a hint of coffee. Flavor is rich coffee with a thin palate. Needs a little body to be a great porter. Jvittorio4187 (255), Boardman, Ohio, USA Mar 14, 2007 Tast he smoke notes. Some chocolate, a little coffee. A little thin. Puors nice with a good head that holds. Hard to get the aroma.
