Ringo (959), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jul 18, 2004 Boulder Brewing - definitely a hit-and-miss affair with more misses than hits. This one is a hit, though. It is very rich and tastes of quality and care in brewing; it is not one of those "weak stout pseudo-porters" that you sometimes find from American microbreweries. This is a textbook porter and is just as good as the UK’s Flag Porter that I just had. It looks as if I am a bit against the grain on this one, but if you like Porters, give it a try. Tell ’em that Ringo sent ya! Eyedrinkale (3115), Beer Town, New York, USA Jun 17, 2004 On tap @ Blind Tiger. Man, I don’t know what beer other people drank to rate this so low, or maybe they change the recipe but this porter was awesome. Medium bodied with a big roasted aroma. The taste was big also, smoky, rich, chocolate and coffee. Fantastic stuff. bigrond (886), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 17, 2005 Updated: Oct 14, 2005yhis was the last beer from a 12 pack sampler - and it was the best! Dark rich malty favor. And just as the description promised - very drinkable with a perfect coffe finish. jimmyh221 (157), Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, USA Mar 1, 2006 It had a spare head with good lacing. The color was black. It had a very smooth taste. A very balanced beer! bmanLS (114), Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 21, 2005 Pours dark with a medium tan head that lingers for most of the drink. It starts out with a burnt wood flavor followed by a chocolate finish with hints of carmel and coffee. The carbonation is just right. I really liked this porter but the current rating of 38 seems low to me.
