Jan 29, 2010 not my favorite porter by a longshot, but it has a distinct crispness and flavor to it that sets it apart from other beers of this type.

Dec 9, 2009 I’ve probably had this beer a bizillion times, but never since I started rating beers. Aroma of semi-sweet chocolate and roasted coffee with some very light caramel as well. Appearance is black with creamy tan head that stuck around. Flavor matches the nose, with a little more emphasis on caramel sweetness. Palate is creamy and bubbly. One of BBC’s better beers, not a bad porter, but not spectacular.

Oct 29, 2009 Poured from a 12oz. bottle into an English Pint at 49°. Color is a deep near solid brown with a hint of amber. Carbonation is light with a small fizzy head that actually has nice lacing. Aroma is a nice roasted malt scent. Taste is dry and roasted. Staring with a medium body it goes down with a light crisp feel. Finish is a roasted malt taste that gives a little chocolate and nut taste then ends with a mellow bitterness. After taste is dry as the bitterness builds a bit. Overall its a nice little Porter with good even flavors. (Bottle courtesy of jbye4334)

Oct 25, 2009 12 oz bottle pours a brown black with a creamy head. Nose of roasted malts bakers chocolate, inviting. Flavors miss that point though. Roasty and burnt malts that are far to weak. Light chocolate roast bitterness but so much water in there that a funny ashy, cola, acidic flavor lingers on the tongue. Not too great, but it may taste nice in my chili.
