I was very excited to taste this beer but ended up being very disappointed. I don’t know if I got a bad batch but when it hit my tounge it tasted good for a split second then turned weak and watery.

Draught at BWIm. Pours a dark brown with tan head. Aroma of light coffee, and roast malt. Tadte is the same, with mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is creamy but thin. Overall, not bad for a session porter.

Faint hints of coffee on the nose. Pours nearly black with a thin brownish white head that disappears quickly. Getting some chocolate on the tongue but it feels thin. Not making much of an impact for me.

On tap at Duclaw, Bowie on 14 July 2006. Very dark brown - almost black - and nearly opaque. Lots of creamy coffee in the aroma. More of the same on the palate. Some powdery cocoa and burnt malt too. Smooth and mellow. A very decent and enjoyable porter.
