| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 11, 2009 I’ve been looking for this for a while, and I have to admit to being underwhelmed slightly. The nose is a nice chocolate, nutty, roasty experience. the appearance is dark drown/black, which permits dark red light through it when held up to a lamp. The flavor is a tad more complex, chocolate, nuts, vanilla, roasted coffee, brown sugar. Roasted malts, resiny hops on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium, even a tad on the thin side. Too thin for the style. Decent porter overall, not I good as I had expected. sound67 (191), Offenbach, Germany
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 11, 2009 50cl dark brown bottle. Impenetrable, pitch-black colour with medium beige head, generous lacing. Even when cooled-down this bear has a powerful "double chocolate" aroma with vanilla and roasted, coffee-ish malt notes vying for attention in the background. Low carbonation, thick, very creamy mouthfeel. Impressive! Complex flavour has chocolaty and coffee-like notes, with atrongly bitter dominant espresso taste on top. Dry, fresh finish balances the initial heaviness - how could a dark beer be better balanced. Another characterful, but well-rounded winner from Fullers. Heavy-bodied but never oppressive, this is the kind of beer they could serve at an Italian café! mcdav2154 (297), Germany
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Dark brown to black body with a small tan head after an aggressive pour. Great lacing. Smell is mostly of a slightly sweetened chocolate with notes of hops, malt, and herbs. Taste was the same with a low carbonated rich creamy mouthfeel. This was a great find in Cologne! This drink leaves a mild lasting bitterness that is quite pleasant and an enjoyable chocolate aftertaste. Elwood (677), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 10, 2009 Serving: 330 ml. bottle.
Appearance: Cola colored with a creamy, tan head. Good head retention and lacing.
Aroma: Chocolate, a bit of coffee, and roasted malt make for a very nice nose.
Flavor: Dried fruit, particularly raisin, some burnt notes, roasted malt, and a slight mineral taste. I think it is well rounded with a great flavor.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-long, roasty finish.
Overall: A damn fine Porter for sure. Definitely worth a go if you are a fan of the style. triguy84 (55), Fitchburg, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 9, 2009 Poured with a thick brown-tinted head that settled out after a few minutes, nice dark brown color. The nose had notes of roasted malts, plum, and maybe chocolate. Definite chocolate flavors, and roasted malts. Medium-full bodied, the flavors linger for some time. I did not expect a porter with so much chocolate flavor, maybe because I am used to American Porters. I like this beer.
