3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a dark mahogany with a thin light-tan head. Toasty, lightly burnt dark caramel malty aroma. Body starts with a sweet sugary earthy caramel flavor turning slightly sticky toward a thinner lightly roasted finish. An ok porter and not as bad as its ratings might imply.

bottle. i had this beer a few years back, just adding for my own personal record. all i remember was that i did’t like it all that much, but still enjoyed it over some of boring lagers out there.

Where is the body? Smell and look are reasonablly in line with a porter, dark roasted malts and such. The taste is even not bad with caramel and dark roasted malts, but it holds up for about .5 seconds. Super watery texture that fades quickly. Only dark beer that I could find while in Australia and I will not be going back to this one.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours dark brown with a quickly fading, scummy-looking head.
Nose shows roasted malt, cardboard, chocolate. There’s a burnt rubber character too.
Rather sweet-tasting, but weak. Flavours include nutty malt, caramel and a faint roasty character. No way I would call this a porter.
Extremely watery body really detracts from the experience.

Draught in Sydney. Pours dark with modest tan head. Roasted malts and chocolate on the nose, and similarly pleasant on the palate with hints of dark fruits and coffee.

Funky, yeasty smell from this coca cola clone. No head to speak of. Oaky textures to the taste, roasted touches. Not completely dismal - but I wasn’t expecting much.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark and promising, with some nice coffee flavour, but not much else. Ok I guess.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Better than I expected but then that’s not saying much for this ’brewery’. Sweet with lots of toffee and maybe a little roasted malt. I would drink it again it was actually not bad at all.
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
not a very good porter. quite watery and tastes like burnt wood. can find a lot mor porters that are actually drinkable
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Nice dark ale. Roasted aroma, with chocolate, and caramel. Taste is sweet, with light bitter notes, and average duration. Palate is oily, and medium bodied. Dark brown, with a frothy head.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Solid for what it is. A dark ale with some decent fruit tones. Easy drinking and definetely not offensive
