2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a medium dark brown with a thin short-lived tan head. Lightly roasted sweet caramel malt aroma. Body is thin for a porter, but has a nice light sweetness throughout. Smooth, but uninteresting.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Dark brown with red highlights. Smells musty, somewhat like coffee and alcohol. Mild, somewhat rancid flavor of old vegetables mixed with coffee. One dimensional, and not offering much.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Pat’s. Deep brownish pour with aroma of roasty malt, chocoff, molasses, some almond and bourbon and cinnamon. Tasted roasty malty with significant spices including nutmeg and cinnamon, plus some chocoff, and ovaltine.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled. Poured a clear, deep iced tea brown with a tall initial beige head (receded to a thin layer after a couple minutes.. leaving some lacing behind). Nose was of roasty chocolate, somewhat stale floral hoppage, and currants. Flavor picked up some coffee and other dark malts to go with the chocolate. Finish was of burnt coffee with oaky/tannin notes. Body was medium at most, and felt chalky at times. Not bad..
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a deep mahogany with a bubbly light brown head. The aroma is roasted malt & barley and dark caramel. Tastes both sweet and roasted, and then a rusty feel takes over, finishing on a bitter, metallic note that ruins the drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark mohogany brown with a two-tone tan and off white head. Brown sugar, with a touch of dark malt aroma. A mix between a lager, a dry stout and a weak bock. Faint hints at a brown porter. Just a fairly bland dark beer.
