Sep 8, 2005 Clear rootbeer brown with an inch of cappucino like head. Toffy, roasted malt and cocoa in aroma. Soft medium to light body, low carbonation. Slight metallic in flavor medium bitterness, some roasted malt and chocolate in flavor. A little dry in finish. Very drinkable, yet not enough flavor.

Aug 18, 2005 Pours a dark amber with thin head. Aroma of chocolate and malts. Palate is a bit thin, but the flavor is a good porter (except some traces of salt and yeast). Also, I gotta give some credit for going through the trouble of salvaging yeast from a shipwreck.

Aug 17, 2005 bottle. Pours a warm brown color. Has low hops and watery mouthfeel, but with a good foundation of lightly roasty caramelly sweetness.

Aug 12, 2005 Suprisingly sweet and malty aroma. No roastiness at all in the aroma. Deep brown with reddish tints. Very untraditional, traditional porter. It tastes little like what porters now taste like. Comes across as a malty dark bitter. Molasses and black licorice flavors. Interesting, but I like my new world fake porters better.

Aug 10, 2005 Bottle. Mmm... deep chocolatey smell, with a touch of mocha. Mysterious dark brown color, a light ring of foam. Very mellowed dark roasts, some scotch peated malts, and low astringency in the taste. Bitterness is a nondescript English hop profile that balances without getting in the way. Very pleasant indeed.

Jul 30, 2005 Dark brown/black. Insignificant tan head quickly disappears. Roasty malt and chocoffee nose and flavor. Mostly chocolate. Chocolate milk like creaminess while at the same time a bit dry. Cool concept with the yeast.
matta (1137), Tampa, Florida, USA
Jul 21, 2005 New to Florida.
Pours a shady amber brown body with a light khaki head. The aroma is sparked with mentions of bourbon and the oak casks in which it sits. Notes of chocolate and toffee are most abundant. Sitting beside that, are indications of raisin and molasses accompanied by some spicy hints of tobacco and spoiled milk. The mouth feel is a bit thin but regardless, this is a rather nice porter.
