Jun 4, 2008 Updated: Jun 10, 2008So one night I’m sitting in my dorm room, aight, and I hear someone yell that HST killed himself. I call my Dadbra, and he says, "It’s about time." I’ve been depressed since February 05, then I tried this brew. Definitely sexy, definitely hides the alcohol, and definitely a tribute to the greatest journalist I’ve ever read. I’m sure HSTbra rests in peace knowing this beer is out there.

Aug 7, 2008 Had this on last xmas and this totally suprised me since I was just picking beers at random to drag to a chilly London flat to keep myself warm. Very darkly fruity aroma, rich body and a nicely woody hoppy aftertaste. A lovely beer to drink on a chilly night, not that english people generally even know what that is....

Dec 30, 2008 Updated: Jan 17, 2009poured motor oil black...nice 2 finger head that dissipated pretty quick. Smells wonderful of the roasted malts.
Can taste the hops - not bitter at all. Taste of dark malt and really picking up a chocolate, coffee flavor. finish a bit stout due to the alcohol bite, but is by no means overwhelming. Wonderfully flavorful beer and one that i will definitely have to get again.

Jan 4, 2009 Updated: Jan 10, 2009Black as death with a tan head. Smells thickly of roasted malts and hops with a hint of alcohol presence; coffee, vanilla, and chocolate notes are there. This one looks, smells, and feels like a stout. This one tastes sweet, fragrant, and rich with flavors of toffee, dark chocolate, black licorice, and a large amount of hops for that porter spice. Has a silky mouthfeel. Is very smooth and mellow while cold but as it warms the alcohol comes through alongside some spicy notes; complex and dangerously drinkable. This is my kind of beer!

Apr 13, 2009 Pours a lacing tan head with a dark brown body. Smells of brown sugar and malt. Tastes like brown sugar, toast, chocolate, espresso. Very stout-like. Finish is bittersweet and cloying.

Nov 11, 2009 Black with red edges and a medium brown head. For some reason, it smells ’red’ to me (or maybe ’burgundy’). Enoumously sweet and rich coffee-malt flavour and a large bitter hop finish. Very smooth in the mouth. Brutal, yet complex. Very nice.

May 5, 2009 Pours dark as a mofo with a very thick and strong tan head. Leaves behind good lacing.
Smells of coffee and hops.
Taste is the shiznit. Not usually a fsn of porters, but this one is exceptional. Not too many flavors going on,. strong coffee from, roasted malt backing, and just a perfect dark chocolate aftertaste.
