Has a subtle, sweet, yet distinctly bell’s aroma. Opaque black with white head. Light roastiness with good amount of sweetness. That bell’s aroma that I desicribed is coming out in the taste. Medium bodied, and enjoyable all the way through.

Another good Bell’s product, pleased to have it available in Chicago again. Serving: Bottle

Dark opaque pour with a tan head. Roasty aroma with some sour lactic acid. Hints of chocolate and coffee. Very sweet creamy flavor. Fades to bitter roast with some coffee. Bitter hops to finish. Good, easy to drink porter.

pours a dark brown/black, nearly opaque, big nice fluffy brown/tan head... A little roasty aroma, clean, some mild dark fruits... Creamy body, clean roast more mild dark fruits.. Medium bodied...

Pours dark brown, almost black. Opaque. Aroma is coffee, chocolate with some vinuous qualities. Some smoke too. Full bodied for a porter. Finish is sweet. Very good porter.

Decent head that fades away rather quickly. Nice black color. Looks like a pretty good porter. Nice malty roast aroma. The aroma is not extremely pungent, but you can easily smell this beer. Subtle roast flavor, but extremely malty. The malt is nice, but I wish there was more of a coffee/roast flavor. The palate is nothing exceptional, but it is ok.

Bottle poured black with a light head and lacing. Aroma of sweet roasty malts, coffee and brown suger. Flavor is a roasy burnt malt with a bit of a metalic taste on the finish.

Black with a thick dense tan head, soft medium-full body with medium carbonation.

Aroma: roasted malt, bitter cocoa, leafy hops.

Taste: lots of roast, some charr, and some leafy hops.

Pours a deep, opaque brown, almost black, with a small, creamy, light brown head. The aroma is of roasted coffee and toffee with a fruity raisin undertone. The mouthfeel is a bit thin and soft becoming almost flat rather quickly. The flavor is dominated by roasted coffee, with light bittersweet chocolate. I also detect a slight fruity flavor, like cherries, at the malty and slightly dry finish. I found this to be a very tasty porter, and now, after reading a few other reviews, I find it interesting to see how different people find so many different things in this beer. A great after-dinner beer and definitely one that I’ll recommend to friends.

dark brown with off white head, the armoa is very chocolatey, with a hint of vanilla. creamy mouthfeel, quite decent.
