| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 5, 2006 Updated: Feb 15, 2007Pours a deep yet transparent ruby/brown with a creamy cap that faded fast to a skin. Alcohol up close and personal over black malt, Cocoa Puffs and wood. Rich, rauchy smoked notes in the flavor have me salivating. Palate thickens as it warms, bringing justice to dark fruits and chocolate which seemed lost earlier. Bitter chocolate finish with a touch of over-roasted sourness. Damn good... drink cellar-temp or warmer.

| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 7/20 | Mar 8, 2006 My bottle says Darwin Brewing, but whatever: Pitch black but entirely ZERO head, ZERO carbonation. Chalky aroma. Odd woody (not in a good way) flavor, oily and milky. Didn’t dig it. dwyerpg (2529), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 1/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 1, 2006 Nice chocolaty aroma, but a flat see-through brown appearance. Not heavy, but thankfully not as sweet as your average porter, making this an above-average porter, since I find most tough to finsih.
