Jan 18, 2006 dark brown pour, head fades quickly. smooth, smokey, creamy malt taste, hint of chocolate. very cool that its made from almost 200 yr old yeast. it is a keeper. Definitely try it.

Jan 15, 2006 Clasic english-style porter. smooth, dreamy... Somewhat reminds me of some stouts i’ve had... although more bitter.
a little smokey, but nothing overbearing.
a great session porter, but i can think of more inexpensive options i’d likely consider before. at $9 for a 4-pack... this was a bit pricey for what it is.

Jan 15, 2006 classic english porter. a bit smokey, malty and creamy. tated a 2005 and 2004 bottle side by side. could really notice the oxidation in the older one.

Jan 11, 2006 One bottle from BOTW. Poured very little of a tan head. Roasted malt aroma with chocolate. Same with the flavor with alittle bit of hops added at the end. I enjoyed it.

Dec 31, 2005 11.2oz. bottle. Dark brown, almost black color with a small tan head. Mild roasted malt aroma with some hints of dark chocolate. The chocolate came out more in the flavor, along with some dark roasted malts and a bit of coffee. Tasty, but a little bland and thin bodied.

Dec 30, 2005 Plums, raisins, grapes and plenty of bittersweet, powdery chocolate greet the nose. Opaque, very dark amber-brown coloured body is topped by a generous, fine bubbled, creamy, tan head that recedes slowly to a thin cover and ring with some nice lacing. Vinous fruitiness is subsumed in the flavour with sweet chocolate, liquorice and lightly roasted malt character. Sweetness emerges after the lightly bitter finish and lingers with some floral hop tones in the aftertaste. Medium body with somewhat watery texture but lively carbonation that engages the tongue. It’s a shame that after rescuing the yeast from the bottom of the channel, they didn’t leave any in the bottles they’re selling. Tulip glass. Just below cellar temperature. Bottle (Main Street party Store, Ann Arbor, MI, Jul-05).

Dec 26, 2005 Bottle. Not bad, roasty and slightly sweet, but then more bitter towards the end, which balances it a bit. Quite decent.
