Jan 24, 2009 Pours a dark chocolate color with almost no head.
Strong porter like aroma. Very malty.
Deep, smoky, bitter beer. A bit weak on overall flavor. Complex but too tame. The reputation is not well delivered with the flavor.

Jan 24, 2009 Bottle in London. Dark brown body with large head. Nice nose of malt and chocolate. Same with the taste. Bitter as well. Nice beer.

Jan 22, 2009 from the bottle. Pours thick and dark with thick head. Comlex aroma, roasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is very nice, a little bitter, chocolate, and raisins in the after taste. I like this porter, it’s well balanced and very drinkable.

Jan 18, 2009 (11/2/08) Bottle at Hamilton’s in San Diego. Dark brown to black color. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and cocoa notes. Sweet roasty flavor with some chocolate, coffee hints, some dark fruits notes and a bit of caramel. Full-bodied. Good stuff.

Jan 15, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a creamy disappearing head. Pleasant aroma heavy with malt and some coffee notes. Smooth as can be with a flavor dominated by roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, and coffee. A really top-notch porter. Deserving of its hype.

Jan 15, 2009 Dark brown color, fluffy creamy, brown colored head. Intensive aroma of chocolate, light sweetnes, light notes of burnt malt, caramel and a hint of coffee. Flavor is medium bodied with some acid, velvety texture with chocolate, some coffe and burnt malt. Dry, roasted malt bitter finish with some dark chocolate flavor. Long finish.

Jan 12, 2009 16oz can poured into an English pint glass. FLP pours dark brown with a medium-sized persistent head that is creamy and nitro-like. The aroma is heavy in rich chocolate, very mild coffee and light hops. The body is moderately thick and extremely smooth. The creamy head adds a wonderful quality that is very difficult to beat. The taste follows the aroma closely and includes chocolate and cappuccino. This is probably the best porter I have had.
