Apr 21, 2009 355ml bottle BB 09.04.09
Ruby highlighted dense black body with tan foam that looks like it wants to hang around.
Quite a complex nose; obvious roasted malts upfront dark chocolate, mocha, liquorice, roasted nuts and burnt grain, with undertones of dried fruit, oak, smoke and bread.
Long palate, quite a smooth body, carbonation reasonably low, moderate drying roasted astrigency.
Dark chocolate malt flavours hit home straight away, cocoa and mocha, very little sweetness to back it up with more burnt nuts and roasted grain flavour in the mix. Toasted oak character emerges later on, as do hints of vinous dark and dried fruits, all of which linger on a bitter dry finish.
Yum! Big porter with plenty of flavour, not too rough around the edges and really opens up with warmth.

Apr 14, 2009 Appearance: medium-dark brown with a reddish hint; above average head retention on a below average-sized beige head
Aroma: roasty aroma lacks strength; does have some secondary aromas in support: bread, toffee, and caramel; nice noticeable hop presence, which is very enjoyable
Flavor: frankly, quite weak; very mild malt flavor; hops are almost more noticeable than malt, which is probably a bad thing for a porter; medium hop bitterness; almost like a dark pale ale, which is not a good thing
Mouthfeel: medium body at best

Apr 9, 2009 Smell is of caramel and sweet malts. Pours brown (barely able to see through) with a large cream head. Taste is sweet that lasts throughout, caramel with licorice. Full bodied for a porter with high carbonation. This is an alright porter but doesn’t impress.

Apr 6, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a hint of red and a thin off-white head. Tastes of roasted malts, chocolate, some coffee, and caramel. Very light body for a porter and rather thin taste as well. Not a great porter.
