3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark brown hue with an average sized tan head. Notes and flavors of chocolate, roasted coffee, smoke and metal. Medium to light bodied. Decent but average. Kind of an off flavor in there as well.

Very solid brew! Poured a very dark brown with nice off white head. Aroma was smoke and malt. Very smooth and simple taste of coffee and smoked malt. Would drink again.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours black with large light brown head. Aroma of strong smokiness and dark malts. Ultra smooth smoky flavor. Quick almost watery finish, lacks complexity. Simplistic and good.

Great smoky tobacco flavor. Slightly bitter finish. Will definitely get this one again.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2009 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!
