3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very dark, like a porter should be. Thin but oddly frothy, head. Slightly roasted and slightly medicinal scent. Don’t judge this until you drink it! Not medicinal tasting at. Great roasted malt taste and is smooth.

12 oz bottle. Pours opaque brown with an inch-thick chunky creamy head that settles slowly and leaves sticky lace. Roasty malt aroma is reminiscent of coffee grounds (reminds me of Bell’s Java Stout) and a little bit of cola. Flavor is really lively and robust. Lots of black coffee, but not quite as bitter as the Java. Dry, roasty finish. Palate is medium-full; moderately carbonated. Pretty nice roasty, malty porter.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, pours dark, clear brown with medium tan head. Toasted malt taste with slightly bitter finish. Not a very complex taste but a decent beer.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: JUL 7, 2008 Reddish brown with a large quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma of deep roasted smoky malts, coffee, wood, peat and bread. Taste of roasted malts, smoke, coffee, chocolate and mild sweet malts. Rich body is well balanced with a mild dry finish that’s lightly bitter and slightly chewy. IMO, among the best porters out there.
At Three Cellars tasting Bell’s Brewery night. Dark brown with medium tan head. Deep roasted smoky malts & some coffee. More of the same in the taste. Decent porter. (8/5/7/4/13)
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours black with light tan head. Aroma is of earthy tones of roasted malts and chocolate. Mouthfeel is kind of watery but it finished with a nice bitter roasted flavor. Good drinkable porter very well representde of the style.
