Jan 10, 2009 Pours a deep dark brown color with a reddish tan head. Inviting aroma of chocolate, malts, and coffee. Easy on the palate with chocolate, coffee, and malts pleasing the tongue. Just phenomenal!

Jan 6, 2009 Updated: Feb 17, 2009Bottle shared by robert at SL. Dark brown in color with a red-ish hue that lets light through. Decent head. Nice aroma of coffee, chocolate...Taste is rich, sweet with some dark chocolate. Thin in texture, almost watery. Which isnt really fair since I (we) drank and Bells expy stout next to it.... Overall a solid beer, that I will have to give its own chance.******Re-rate... Nice aroma rising out of the snifter... Chocolate and coffee on the nose. The texture looks a little thin but doesnt taste that way. For a "Light" beer it does have a ton of flavor.. Lotsa chocolate and coffee. Doesnt taste that light it texture this time. Overall a solid beer, and good example of what a porter should taste like

Jan 5, 2009 Canned(500ml). -Almost black coloured, medium to big creamy pale brown head, coffee cocoa nose. Roasted malt, roasted coffee chocolate and notes of smoke. Bitter finish and aftertaste. Easy drinkable and well balanced porter.

Jan 3, 2009 Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. I poured this brew at the sub 50s, so I figured that the palate would be artificially improved. As it warmed, it stayed remarkably smooth. The flavors were of chocolate and slight cigar smoke. This beer was excellent, one of my new favorites.

Jan 2, 2009 Picked this up at the Party Source in Bellevue KY . Not as good as I expected it to be for a 99 rating. Not as smooth as a Founders or Olfabrikken. This is good don’t get me wrong but it just wasnt as smooth the other 2 top porters.A little more bitter and not near as creamy. Chocolate is present but more along the lines of coffee.Slight nuttiness and slight roastiness a little more bitter than what I like. This is a good brew but there are a couple others that clearly are better choices.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle from Waitrose. Near black colour. Chocolatey, vaguely nutty aroma. Fairly sweet, milk chocolatey flavour. Only a hint of roast. Moderate body, hint of earthiness. Finishes with some chewy, molassesy accents in the chocolate. Good but when on form, the cask version is better.

Dec 30, 2008 Pours a dark chestnut brown, with a good off-white head. Aromas of chocolate, coffee and malt. Taste a bitter coffee with chocolate highlights and hints of roasted malts and nuts. Finishes dry with good bitterness. Very pleasent overall.
