May 18, 2004 Ok not as sweet as most of theese but nice and smooth. Chocolate is present though.I doubt this yeast is nearly 200
years old. Good brew though

Feb 16, 2005 12 oz. bottle. Finally out of the cellar & into a glass...nice head over a dark brown beer. Malty aroma with hints of chocolate and wood. The flavor is also quite chocolaty with a nice roastiness. It also has cherry, apricot, and strawberry flavors. Nice & creamy on the palate. Delicious beer.

Jan 25, 2006 Flag Porter pours to a deep brown to black color with
a slight tan head, and a soft to moderate amount of
carbonation. The nose on this beer is very aromatic
with aromas of sweet and dark malts, a touch of roast,
a hint of smoke, and some estery fruity aromas. The
palate is soft, with more sweet malty flavors, some
caramel, a bit of toffee, some black currant fruit,
and a back drop of lactic sourness. This beer finishes
with more sweet malty character up front, then ends
with a slightly sour edge that balances out the malt
sweetness.
This is an authentic, historical example of what
porter tasted like in the early to mid 19th century.
Porters were actually old, stale beers, and that was a
good thing. Brewers would store their porter in
massive oak vats the size of buildings, and continue
to add porter to the vats for aging and souring. They
were very malty, so the aging, and lactic sourness
that came with aging, was something a porter brewer
was looking for. Flag Porter has captured that, and
really takes you back to another time and place.

Jul 4, 2007 lovely beer, mates, just lovely. Nice tan head, good lace. Has an odd cherry dark brown or a hazy brown depending on the lighting. In any event this is still a great beer! Well rounded. Mildly carbonated, satisfying. Roasty but with a hint of dark fruit. Session beer.

Jun 12, 2003 This particular Porter poured a small tan head with fine-medium bubbles. The lacing was fair. The body was brown in color. The aroma was that of chocolate and it had a smooth taste and mouthfeel. There was ever so slight of an aftertaste observed. I did not notice much of a coffee flavor with this Porter. This was one heck of a good Porter.

Jul 26, 2004 A very dark beer with a lot of taste. Not too much of an aftertaste with a lot of finish.
