Is this a new beer? Not a porter and not Flying Dog’s best (speaking as a fan). Very light in color for a porter and doesn’t quite taste right. Tastes more hoppy and slightly fruity than chocolate, malt or coffee. There are certainly better porters out there. A bad aftertaste that I can’t quite describe (another reviewer said ’ashtray’). I suppose that’s where the words "reminiscent of a Porter" come from in the commercial description.

Jul 13, 2008 Dark with ruby highlights with a dense white head. Aroma is of roasted coffee while flavor is caramel/coffee. Minimal hop bitterness with a nice pleasant mouthfeel.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a big beige head. Malty , slightly roasted aroma. Mildly roasted flavours teaming up with a bit of nuts and molasses. Overall quite malty impression. Rather good.

Jul 11, 2008 clear very dark brown. dark inviting malty aroma, though from the description, i was expecting some peat. i really dig the flavor here, there’s full roast, lighter body, nutty character and a drawn out hopped finish. great balance between dark roast without a heavy body.
