Mar 23, 2009 I feel like it has been FOREVER since my last rating, and I am pumped about his one. So here it goes: (Bottle) Pours a very dark brown with a thin brownish white head. Looks wonderfully delicious. A sugary aroma, with a bit of coffee and choc coming through. Sweet and brown. A bitter-sweet burst of complexity upon my first sip. Well-balanced with a medium body. Creamy and very refreshing. Such a great, smooth brew. Will certainly purchase again.

Mar 20, 2009 Pours almost black with thin white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is chocolate and malty sweetness with a slight hop character for balance . Full bodied and creamy. Tastes of chocolate sweetness and roasted malt bitterness to balance.

Mar 19, 2009 Creamy beige head, deep brown colour, lacing. Aroma is heavily roasted, dark chocolate, coffee and brown sugar. Flavour is roasted sweet and plenty of coffee and chocolate. The flavour is very well balanced and yet intriguing. Mouthfeel is very very smooth with small bubbles and it is almost a bit oily.This is a great porter, met my expectations and then some!

Mar 15, 2009 Dark red with a nice creamy white head. Nose is sweet roasted malt with a hint of vanilla. Very good. Complex flavors of roasted malt, chocolate, butterscotch and vanilla without being too sweet. Finish is very clean. Didn’t expect a beer you can find anywhere to be this good!
zvikar (414), Tel-Aviv, Israel
Mar 13, 2009 From bottle, dark-brown with medium tan head that lives a beatiful lacing, aroma is malt like with a deep chocolate and caramel, notes of clove and some pleasant roasted malts, flavors of smoked tobacco, coffee & chocolate, pleasant syrupy texture, and hoppy smokey clovey finish. As a good beer it is getting better from one sip to the other. don’t drink it too cold or you might miss the show. A top balanced porter.
