3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: FEB 17, 2009 Suprisingly good for a commercial low cost porter. Clear dark mahogany with deep garnet highlights and a faint ring of tan head. Caramel and chocolate nose. Roasty flavor. Almost a hint of smoke. Medium thin, a little watery almost. Fair i suppose.

This came in the craft pack. For the most part I am not a big fan of porters but this was not all that bad. Actually somewhat enjoyable. Dark pour with a minimal head.
Mild chocolate coffee with a bit of earthiness in the finish without tasting like dirt. Considering the brewer and the price not too shabby at all. Dundee really needs to get these beers in 6ers to see how they do on their own and dump the weak ones.

Aroma was of roasted malts with maybe some chocolate malts. Taste was good, not too watery. I was surprised how smooth it was. Chocolate, toffee, and caramel were all present. Not bad!

Probably my favorite of the Dundee beers. Pours a dark brown with a chocolate milk colored head. Aroma is roasted and of coffee. Flavor is roasted coffee and some sweetness.
12 oz. bottle.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: SEP 11, 2008 Just like the bottle says "Roasted & Robust." Pours dark amber with a thick, creamy brown head. Has a nice roasted malt aroma and a bitter taste with a hint of chocolate. A quality beer.

This is a quality dark and robust brew that seems to trumpet the advent of winter. Much superior to the Dundee Pale Bock, and one of the best Dundee brews in my opinion.

good flavors that are in sufficient volume. dark with roasted light cocoa and coffee like character that is mildly sweet and unoffensive with an true porter like balance and overall profile. this porter has a real porter like palate and is refreshing yet almost silky. medium and bit nutty. with a mild hop addition that works and is a nice touch.

8/22/08: Bottle.
Medium brown body with a tan head. Rich malty nose. Full, robust flavor - black/bitter coffee, nuts, toasted brown sugar.
