Very thin pour, very small head. Dark in color but I found it to be a bit overwhelmingly bitter. I will not be purchasing this one again.

Pours dark. When held up to light it turns reddish, with some head. Aroma is light, but chocolately. Taste is roasted, chocolate, and a bit of coffee. Palate has a bit of hops, but is slightly watery. Overall, slightly above average.

bottle from nelsons. quite unexciting and thin. subtle roast and dark chocolate, but nothing to shout home about. easy drinking enough, but with import prices not one i’ll pick again.

ABV: 6 % RateBeer rating: 57 Calories: estimated at 150C Volume: 12 fl oz Glass: stem glass Purchased at: Varsity Liquors, Princeton, NJ Price: $1.33 Consumed at: home First Impression: Not great, but not bad. Dark, roasted flavors, coffee and some chocolate, on top of a watery base. Aroma is faint, stale, and chocolate. Visuals are deep brown, with a quickly dissipating head. Taste is roasted, chocolate, coffee, and spices. Palate is top of mouth, somewhat hoppy and long lasting finish. Second Impression is much like the first - not great but not bad. Many others stomp on it comparatively. Aroma: 4 out of 10 Visuals: 3 out of 5 Taste: 6 out of 10 Palate: 4 out of 5 Overall: 14 out of 20

Nearly black with a reddish hue. Slight white head that dissipates quickly but leaves decent lacing. Light aroma with chocolate, caramel, and malt evident. Both smooth and highly carbonated on the palate. The flavor is quite nice. Bitter chocolate, licorice, and malt. Just a hint of dry bitterness at the end. A good porter.
