| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Poured an almost black ruby red in the glass. Little head formed and the head that did form dissipated quickly. Aroma was of rich malt, and the initial flavor was of cola followed by malt with an aggressive carbonation. The mouthfeel was lighter than one would expect from a porter. Swalden28 (1446), McKinney, Texas, USA

Aroma of some smoke and malt. Flavor of smoked malt and some hops. Mouthfeel is light-medium body with high carbonation. Overall, not bad at all! blutt59 (2092), Dallas, Texas, USA

The head is very small, dark white and fizzy, it disappears fast. The body is in a very dark red. The taste started sweet, then it gets fast bitter. The duration is quite long. The body is medium strong, dry with normal carbonation. gam (1082), brisbane, Australia

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jan 20, 2009 Updated: Jan 27, 2009Bottle from mix 12-pack, five weeks old. Deep chesnut with bedraggled beige fizz. No lacing. Acceptable aroma showcases toasted walnuts and hazelnuts, toffee, vanilla, banana… then undercurrents of smoke and diaper. Autolysized? Disgusting grainy budweiser and coffee grounds flavor. Woody vegetal finish, sulphury aftertaste. Medium body has a coarse seltzer and chalky texture. Bad. Real bad.
