Bottle. Dark, dark red brown, almost black body. Pale brown small nice head. Quite heavy sweet malty aroma, some chocolate. Also some fresh hops. Light sweet flavour. Chocolate dominates. Very balanced sweetness. Not very heavy. A light bitter, fresh and dry finish. Amazingly easy drinking, to be a sweet porter. (The Blackbird, Earls Court, London, 03.12.08)

May 28 2012. Can pours black, hint of mahogany in bright light, with tan tight head comprised of tiny bubbles. Head diminishes to ring and leaves little lacing. Not sure if can is a lot different than bottle but I was disappointed after hearing such great reviews. Aroma had sour twist of black olives or fig that is carried through taste and overpowered other flavours of malts and coffee. A lot of depth in flavour. A little too complicated for my preference. Good dry palate and slight bitter aftertaste.

12 oz bottle pours black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Taste is the same with a hint of chocolate. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Black as gets, and with a beige, creamy and lasting head. The aroma is powerfull for a porter, with lots of coffee, and some roasted malts and chocolate. Its very tasty as well, coffee and lots of roastyness. I even thought it was a bit smokey. Best porter I’ve ever tried by far.

UPDATED: MAY 22, 2012 Tried this back to back with Anchor Porter and I thought Anchor both looked and tasted better. Still, this is a good porter. Black with off white head. Roasted malts, coffee, some sweetness there, too. Enjoyable.

Try it next time you go out. I did not like sweet or floral drinks. So this was more my style.

From a bottle in America. Nose has hints of chocolate and stronger notes of espresso. Pours a nice frothy head that laces the glass; near black body with hints of red in the light. Taste has some sweet chocolate cake notes, espresso, some bitter chocolate notes. Finishes with a lovely hops balance and bitterness to round out the chocolate. Mouthfeel is creamy. Overall very delicious. Good session beer.

0,5l can. Dark brown color. Nice big thick, creamy head, stays. Roasted malts, chocolate, caramel in aroma. Flavor is pretty much the same with buttery smoothness added. Very easy to drink. Good beer.

Bottle from Waitrose for the Mass Online Tasting. Pours a very dark brown colour with a rocky light tan head. A lovely aroma of roasty malt, chocolate and caramel. Similar roasty malt and chocolate flavours. Mild bitterness with moderate carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Very nice.

Almost a perfect. This is what I want from a porter. Nice black color, great aromas. Roasted malts on taste and an amazing aftertaste. Great beer.

Pours a dark brown, decent light tan head. Warm aroma of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, and a hint of nuttiness. Smooth, with a mild bitter finish.
