Jan 3, 2008 1/3 liter bottle with a picture of a clipper ship on the label. Interesting story behind the brewing of this beer. It is a black brew with no suds and a pleasant, yeasty aroma. The sweetness level is low for a porter. I taste yeast, coffee, malt, light hops, and toasted grains in the finish. Very drinkable, and a good all-around brew. It is hard to see how anyone would disapprove of it.

Jan 2, 2008 Nice black pour with brown head. Some lacing. Aroma is chocolate and fruity malt. Taste is complex, consisting of vanilla, malt and a dash of hops. Full bodied. Well balanced. Great stuff.
Strykzone (1458), Wood River, Illinois, USA
Jan 1, 2008 Dark, almost black body with red highlights and a thin tan head. Aroma is delightful. It is if roasted nuts, over ripe dark fruit and vanilla. Feel is smooth and creamy but with no carbonation or hop zing. Barley is prominent in the flavor as well as fruit. It is a sophisticated, complex, and subtle flavor. It is also delicious.

Dec 28, 2007 the aroma is of good beer. the taste is of a moderate body with a good finish of berry flavored/type hops. there is a moderately strong malt and barley taste that is quite pleasant. it is really only barely sweet yet the beer is enjoyable and complex (though it is not in you’re face) quite a nice sophisticated english brew with sophisticated balls!

obguthr (986), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
Dec 9, 2007 Smaoky fig aroma. Thin black pour with a thin head. Dry, sour, and unbalanced. Celery finish. Not bad on an overall beer scale, but low on the porter scale.
