| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 22, 2007 12oz bottle (thanks to the epeeist) poured a nice dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma was roasty with some chocolate, caramel and a toasted nuttiness. Taste had a big creamy texture with more of the roasted flavores coming through. Some coffee flavor was noticable but not a big part of the beer. Overall I think the Bell’s Stouts stand out more that the Porter, but still a decent example of the style. starfireming (309), Richmond, Virginia, USA

Earthy aroma with hints of chocolate - not as much as desired though. Flavor is clean throughout with some earthiness and bittersweet chocolate. Thick enough mouthfeel. Decent porter - expected just a bit more. golubj (1286), Sunnyvale, California, USA
