SuIIy (1217), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Jul 3, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a nutty brownish color with almost no head. Nose is light chocolate with some dark roast hints and a light, almost nuttyness. Palate is fairly thin and smooth/clean. Flavors are light coffee with some nutty and chocolate notes. hike20 (11), Iowa, USA Jun 30, 2009 Bottle poured into pint glass. Nice clear ruby-brown color. Thin head that disappears quickly. Aroma of malt with a touch of pear and rose. Good flavor, though not spectacular. Fairly hoppy for a porter, IMHO. Some malt there too, but not strong. Overall decent and pretty drinkable. tlind2 (524), Helsinki, Finland Jun 30, 2009 12 oz. Very deep brown color, tan head. Roasted malt and wood aroma. Smooth roasted flavor, dry finish. Medium-full body, medium-high carbonation. Not a bad porter at all, but doesn’t really stand out either. mutant (854), Melbourne, Australia Jun 27, 2009 Hint of red colour. Coffee aroma and flavour of roast meat. The barley might have been a bit over roasted, but not as burned as in some beers of this type. twistedviews (19), California, USA Jun 26, 2009 pretty good stuff. not the greatest, but certainately not the worst. i liked it... Borup (1165), Albertslund, Denmark Jun 21, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown colour with a nice beige head. Aroma and flavour of roasted malt, coffee and caramel. xs2500 (66), Mississippi, USA Jun 18, 2009 Pours a beautiful dark amber color with a thin creamy head. Nice smokey malty flavor. Overall a good porter johnnyoski (114), Macomb, Michigan, USA Jun 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours red-brown with a decent sized tan head. Light chocolate and some bitter roasty aroma. A burnt initial taste with some caramel sweetness finishes with a dry, bitter flavor. Drinkable, but watered down compared to the better porters.
