LadySusan (370), Ste-Therese, Quebec, Canada Mar 14, 2006 This beer is a kind of beer that I rarely drink, a porter. This one is an exception. I drank it at the Montreal beer festival, it was so so good, the only probleme I cannot get it here.Bravo ! ToadMan (552), Alexandria, Virginia, USA Oct 25, 2002 Poors dark with a frothe head, rich hoppy/malted aroma. Lots of roasted chocolaty malt that intensifies as it warms. Finishes with a slight hoppy bitterness. Good beer, Ill be back for more. mkobes (2027), somewhere, New Jersey, USA Mar 6, 2005 220z bottle. Deep dark orange in color with a nice tan head. Very malty aroma. Very malty flavor. Sweet tasting. Some roasty. chocolate notes. Nice beer. MaiBockAddict (1499), Good Beer Bar Deprived, New Jersey, USA Mar 5, 2005 22 oz bottle. Dark orange, nice tan head. Rich malty aroma and flavor. Sweet and malty. Light roasty/chocolate notes. Malty finish. I like this. jjpm74 (2953), Connecticut, USA Apr 8, 2005 Pours a murky amber with subtle diminishing head. Aroma is of caramel, chocolate, grapefruit and rasberries. The taste of this beer is very complex. One gulp tastes of their porter, the next tastes of a nice pale ale. Above average carbonation and the astringent vinegary finish made this one a personal favorite of mine. This beer turned out to be surprisingly good. The complexity of taste and excellent marriage of two styles has convinced me that this brewer’s other offerings are worth a closer look. To date I have yet to taste an offering from Berkshire that isn’t above average.
