Dark brown/red. Ok head. Quite swwet with raisins, caramel and coffee. Burnt feeling.

Dark brown color, light brown head. Carmel malt-coffee and chocolate flavor of the sweet kind. Rich flavor. Sweet. Not too much alco feel.

Very dark brown color with just a bit of red shining through to make it brown instead of black. The nose is alcohol and a little fruit. A smokey roast is also evident in the nose with just a touch of fudgeyness towards the back of the aroma. The body is thick with malt which is slightly sweet, but not reaching cloy. Some bitter maltiness in the middle and a touch of bitter hops at the end. Nice long flavors here. Comes together well, not perfectly though and lacking a bit.

deep brown colour, beige head. brown sugar and malt aroma. toffee, sweet malt, fruit, mild roast. the alcohol is well hidden, but the flavour isn't as big as I thought it would be.

Clear dark brown. Brown head. Light aroma of sweet dark malt & molasses. Full, sticky body. Flavour of sweet fortified Christmas cake w/ some woody, oakish notes.

Malty nose, ruby with a medium toffee head. Sweet malt flavour, bitter, light bodied, alcohol is robust, different than I expected. Thanks for finding this Radek.

UPDATED: JUL 7, 2003 Mahogany brown, thick creamy head . Softer, nice way hidden alcohol. Sweet malt, coffee. Nicely balanced.

UPDATED: JUL 5, 2003 Very dark mahogany. Sweet, molasses, pears. Thick malts, toffee, brown sugar. Long, dry woody note. Seems lighter than last time I had it. Even amongst Polish porters, this tastes the most Polish. Not the best example of the substyle, but maybe the truest.
