Sep 17, 2009 12oz - Aroma of roasted dark malts. Flavor is stronger but still mild. Roasted chocolate malts, coffee and a touch of hops. Palate is sticky and dry. Not a bad porter, but a tad too thin.

Sep 6, 2009 11.2 ounce bottle. Pours a dark brown color. Watery looking with a thin, almost nonexistent head. Poor head retention and lacing. Big chocolate and coffee notes in the aroma, Some faint roastiness. Taste is coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, light smokiness and a milky, creamy note. Thin-medium bodied.

Aug 14, 2009 Poured like cola with a short, fizzy, barely off-white head. Minimal lacing. The aroma is of malts and a hint of licorice. Not much coffee or chocolate. The flavor followed suit. Mouthfeel was on the thin side with a weak finish. Lacked depth.
Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
Jul 6, 2009 12 oz bottle. Root beer pour with an off white head. Caramel malty nose, some cocoa and light roast. Cocoa comes to the fore when tasting, mildly roasty and a woody note. Nice lace, body just on the light side of medium. A nice drinker.

Jun 1, 2009 11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a very thin head, no laciing, over a clear brown (SRM 20) body....nose rich in coffee, chocolate.....taste is similar with rich roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, finishes dry.....rather light on the mouth feel, somewhat watery, carbonation medium. Interesting, but the more modern recipes appeal to me more.

May 25, 2009 pours brown, no head, clear around the edges.
aroma is roasty, mostly toffee and coffee.
flavor is a bit too subtle, some malty sweetness and hints of leather. gets better as it warms, but still a bit too watery.
somewhat thin body and flat finish.
Beershine (2678), Hue, Vietnam
May 16, 2009 Bottle bought at Yankee Spirits. Rich dark brown. Tan head fades into a lasting cap. Aroma is very chocolate cake, touch of licorice and icing. Body is slightly thin yet the flavors are packed into every mouthful. A nice combination of quaffability and solid, pure, dry chocolate flavors. Touch sweet, touch roast, nothing overpowers anything else. Simply good.
