WillieV (191), Maryland, USA Dec 21, 2007 Bottle: Poured a dark brown almost redish color with a cream colored head that is slowly disappearing. First taste is pretty mild with a slight hint of hops as a finish. JCB (1716), Durham, North Carolina, USA Dec 20, 2007 Decent looking porter, with a handsome color and moderate head. Faint chocolate in the aroma, a bit more plus some roast in the taste. A bit thin and too hop-forward, but decent enough. TikiE (360), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Dec 19, 2007 My first out of the variety pack! Pours dark brown with a nice full head. Tastes of faint chocolate but doesnt have the bite I wish it did. polomagnifico (532), Saginaw, Michigan, USA Dec 19, 2007 12oz bottle. Aroma is hopps with a flower note that overpowers everything. Average sized off-white head that mostly diminished and left decent lace. Very dark brown hue. Flavor is sweet and roasty, much better than aroma. Palate is watery soft and light bodied. This porter sucks, have not been impressed with this brewery. mansquito (819), Boston/Philadelphia, USA Dec 17, 2007 Really dark brown color with a tan head. Chocolate and coffee aroma... didn’t really get the abbey double smell that some people talked about. Thick enough body but still easy to drink and it definitely warms you up... I had it when I was really cold a few times. Not particularly complex, but what is there is good... with the roasted malts and molasses flavors. DenverLogan (421), MileHi, Colorado, USA Dec 14, 2007 Brown color, lingering amber head. Dark malt, iced tea, and apice aroma. Robust and tasty for this alcohol, with nice flavors of bitter chocolate, slight pepper spice, smoke, molassas, coffee. I’ve always found this a tasty, easy drinking brew. jbrus (4835), Delft, Netherlands Dec 14, 2007 Bottle@Home. Blackberries, blackcurrant and chocolate aroma. Very dark brown color, light brown head, fair lace. Very fruity, blackberries, red berries, some roastiness and bitterness in the finish. Sparkling with a dry finish. OK beer but more like a Abbey Dubbel with porter notes than really a porter. chadzter (94), huntsville, Alabama, USA Dec 12, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark brown. No head when it was poured. For a porter it was a little thick. Had some chocolate and and maybe a hint of brown sugar. Finish was slightly bitter due to some grass hops. Not the best flying dog but an enjoyable one.
