Oct 27, 2008 dark pour on taphere in Boca Raton. Nice firm off-white head nice lacing on the glass. Aroma was Amazing sweet toffee and a hint of coffee. Flavor is typical porter with a sweet side to it. Palate is just perfect for this style. This was a great find.
Cheers!

Pours a ruby black, with thick beige head.
Aroma is roasted with some nice coffee undertone.
Taste, malty, roasted very smooth.
Light coffee and chocolate malts just all over, coupled with a nice light hoppy finish.
One amazing porter.

Oct 23, 2008 Poured from 11.2oz bottle into pint mug. Dark brown, nearly black with reddish tinges when held up to light. 1 finger creamy, lacy head which diminishes rather quickly, but leaves nice lacing inside the mug. Aromas of milk, chocolate, dark dried fruit, and coffee. Tastes of dark and chocolate malts with notes of coffee. Full mouthfeel, light on the carbonation. Very well balanced. Finishes very nicely. Excellent depth of flavor. Very drinkable. This is what I’ve always perceived a true English porter to be. Cheers!

Oct 21, 2008 Pours a deep brown almost black with a quickly dissipating off white head. Aroma is mostly roasted malt and a lot of nut and chocolate. There are also some distinct raisin and plum notes. Flavor starts very sweet mostly caramel and toffee. Rich and creamy cocoa and coffee bean in the middle turns to a burnt malt and bitter black coffee-like finish. Medium to full body and high carbonation. Nice rich porter that has a good balance and complexity. Finishes a little too bitter but otherwise a great beer.

Oct 19, 2008 Delicious aroma of coffee and light hints of chocolate. Aroma comes up to greet you and lingers long in the nose. Dark brown with a very light tan (almost white) head. Flavors of dark malts chocolate, coffee and maybe a hint of dark fruit. Mild dark grain dry finish. Maybe a tiny hint of bitterness.
