3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sweet chocolate and bitter roasted malt aroma. Dark almost black with dense, brown (nitro?) head. Burnt, bitter roastiness dominates the submissive chocolate. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Medium body. On tap at the brewpub.

TAP: Drak brown color, low lathery head. Dark roasted tastes with some wood and charcoal towards the end. Overcarbonated. Thin body. Tasty, but one dimensional.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap at the brewpub (26 nov 2004). Creamy light brown head. Dark brown colored body (not opaque). Average density appearance. Overwelming yeasty aroma that hides most others. Strange? Still you can perceive hints of chocolate. Weird yeasty flavor at first but interesting and good chocolate finish toward the end. Short chocolate feel. Too bad, it look like either there was a problem with the yeast or the beer has not been fermenting enough? Light body, dry texture, very soft carbonation. Substract the yeasty aroma and flavor you get a nice porter (which I used to enjoy a bit more before today).

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
clear dark brown, white head. mildly perfumy and coffee aroma. very mildly malty with dark bread and cocoa. not very "powerfull"
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Powerful is probably not the word I’d use for this. Dark brown colour. Slight chocolate and vague malt accent. Hints of roast, nut, chocolate and acid but not even remotely cohesive. Needs more fermentation time in order to bring everything together.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Opaque dark beer with a faint roasted malts and chocolate nose. Big chunks of bitter chocolate with bitterness coming in aftertaste to please the palate. Some touches of vanilla. Good body for a porter.

(Just called Porter on my visit) Black with beige head. Aroma is mocha. Taste is coffee, light chocolate, medium sweet, with roasty coffee bitter finish. Medium/full body.

UPDATED: MAY 23, 2004 Firm chocolatey smoke over crème brûlée...Nice roasty malt backbone with green hop bitterness in the end...A quaffable porter...
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brown/black coloured. Medium bodied, sweetish, rather roasty, medium bitter. Falls short at a direct comparison to theirstout.
