Poperinge (359), Cowtown, Alberta, Canada Feb 18, 2007 Updated: Feb 19, 2007Compared to some of today’s big porters this seems more like a historic note and that is not a bad thing. Full bodied and well made would like to have again. Bought this bottle at John’s Market Portland in 2004. Page 159 of Michael Jackon’s Great Beer Guide only 411 out of 500 Classic Brews to go. Hildigöltur (5109), København, Denmark Jan 31, 2007 Bottled. Reddish brown coloured. Notes of roasted malts, chocolate and coffee in the aroma and in the flavour. Rather light, though. Light to medium bodied. Some nice flavours and aromas present, but it needs more power to be really good.. tkhans (50), Bangor, Wisconsin, USA Jan 23, 2007 rich chocolate aroma, light tan head,slight carbonation, with a smooth finish. I think i’ll try a second. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Jan 22, 2007 Nice. Black pour with a tiny beige head. Malty aroma, rich with coffee and nuttiness.

A little thin on the palate, but still excellent. scoobyluv (486), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA Jan 12, 2007 bottle from durty nelly’s in the noog. medium tan head with a dark brown color. smell of chocolate, coffee and caramel. taste of chocolate and caramel but a bit thin. not as full bodied as i would have liked but it was still a pretty good beer wheninhell (485), louisville, Kentucky, USA Jan 12, 2007 dark brown with a small disappearing tan head. nice rich milk chocolate aroma. light chocolate flavor. bitter chocolate vanilla coffee finish. medium body. decent.
