i enjoyed this beer alot. i didnt mind they slight hoppy flavor. Slight coffee flvor. Excellant beer

This is one of the best porters that I have had. The pour was excellent a nice light brown head which sat on the cloudy dark brown body. The amoma was like roasted chocolate. This one had a creamy texture and a nice following of hops.

This beer pours into the glass a cocoa brown with ruby like qualities. The head was of a beige/tan color that was foamy and lasted. The aroma was of roasted malt, caramel, some fruit, hops, chocolate, a little yeast and raisins. The taste changed with each taste, I believe it had to do with the temperature, whether I held the glass or let it sit on the table. It showed signs of a light roasted malt, chocolate coffee, raisins, slight alcohol and occasional hops. The tastes always changed making it hard to pin down a dominate flavor. But if I had to say…it would be malt (chocolate and roasted). Not a bad porter. From reading the other reviews this beer seems to change with age or bottle vs. tap. But it is not bad.

A wonderful, smooth roasty version of the style.

UPDATED: APR 13, 2004 Very heavy beer. Can taste hints of chocolate and coffee. Drink slowly, it fills you up!

I tasted chocolate, coffee, caramel and I think raisins...Mmm Not too hoppy, but smooth, and no harsh aftertaste like other Porters I’ve tasted.

One of the best porters I’ve tasted

Loved the chocolate undertones. Great product

I am not going to add much to what’s already been said. I am a porter fan, but the vaguely pastryish/doughy aroma alluded to in another review interfered with the experience of the beer. Overall it was a decent beer, but I would not order it again.
