Bottle. Poured a dark brown with minimal brownish head. Aroma was burnt malt with perhaps a touch of chocolate. Flavor included a little bit of hops and was just slightly bitter. Pretty good overall.

12 ounce bottle. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours dark brown/black with about a half inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both decent enough. Aroma is nice and sweet, the brew smells like roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and a bit of dark fruit. It tastes like roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, coffee, and some licorice. The aroma is sweet, but the bitter roastiness really shows up in the taste of this brew. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a bit creamy and has moderate carbonation. I think this is a good brew, I’d definitely like to try it again sometime.

12oz bottle. Dark brown color. good thin brown head. Some decent lace. Good bitter chocolatey flavor. Light toasted malts, hints of dark fruit. Medium / bigger body, with a good chewiness to the texture. Light, crisp carbonation. Good bittersweet taste. One of the worst labels I’ve ever seen, but the porter inside is solid, as I’ve come to expect from Dark Horse.

Mild aroma and dark pour with a malt and coffee taste and minimal mouthfeel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12 ounce. Nice creamy pour. Slight bitter chocolate in taste. Slightly sweet and sticky. Decent body. My bottle, though, says 7% and not the 6 listed here.

12oz bottle pours dark brown with off white head. lacing is minimal on the glass. the aroma is of chocolate and dark malts. not overly roasted. flavor is a mix of chocolate and some coffee notes...almost hints of black licorice in the end...very good porter...much better than i thought it would be.

Big roasted aroma to start this off, with hints of chocolate. Pours an opaque black with just a ring of light brown head. Smooth roasted flavor, with chocolate being the predominant flavor. Light bodied, and easy to drink. If you like porters, this is one to try.

Chocolate, coffee, nutty malt aroma. Very little hop aroma. Medium body. Malt forward, well balanced. Chocolate and cherry on palate.

Bottle. Pours black. Has aroma of chocolate and licorice. Does not taste heavy. Can taste slight hops on back end but balanced. ----Hophaze out

Dark black. Black malt, touch of hops. medium to light thickness. fairly light. decent standard porter.
