Oct 22, 2002 maybe i’m sucked in by the story, but this stuff tastes like exactly the sorta stuff i could imagine old timers drinking back in the 1850s. strong, savoury malt whiff, with a bit of wood - not unlike some czech tmaves. sadly i didn’t get any of the sheets of lace (sounds kinky!) that Gusler got - maybe cause I washed the glass not long before - just something that looks like semi-flat coke. slightly salty malt flavours initially, followed by coffee that you’ve dipped your toast into a few too many times. very dry as previously noted. watery mouthfeel. reminds me of James Squire Porter, strangely enough.

Sep 12, 2008 Well, I had to buy this beer when the owner of the bar told me the story. Anyway, it pours a deep mahogany brown with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly leaving no lacing. There wasn’t a lot to the smell honestly. I got some faint coffee aromas and some sweet malts with some nutty aromas as well. The taste was better, with a well defined roasted character. Chocolate malts and coffee were also present long with a bit of nuts and dark fruit as well. The mouthfeel was a tad thin, but had good carbonation. this porter was OK and it was very drinkable despite not being the most complex porter out there.

Feb 23, 2006 Pours dark red-brown with a modest tan head. The aroma is a big malty molassas and pumpernickel and the flavor follows as expected, with the addition of somewhat sweet vinous notes and light-roasted italian espresso (think Illycafe) on the finish. Mouthfeel is thin, but soft and encouraging.
Overall, a very pleasant porter.

Mar 27, 2006 Bottle. Poured a deep black color with a tan head. Coffee and roast aroma with a hoppy background. The flavor was mainly caramel and coffee but had a nutty & chocolate undertone. Medium body with a coffee aftertaste.

Jun 22, 2004 Very dark, ruby red appearance with virtually no head whatsoever (even with a hard pour). Aroma is very roasty, sweet and very malty. Smells slightly of molasses. Flavor is malty up front, before quickly fading into a slightly watery bitterness. The hops are not that noticeable, but there is a detectable aftertaste. Its okay, but it needs more carbonation and a little more bitterness. Everything else is perfect.

Dec 13, 2002 Ruddy brown complexion. Dense light tan head. Earthy aromas, light coffee. Light molasses sweetness first. Kinda light-footed on the palate. Buttery burnt toast, espresso, light sourness, and a lngering bitter finish. Decent porter, perhaps a little lacking.
