flyerdog (7), Ardmore Park, Pennsylvania, USA does not count Jul 14, 2008 Updated: Mar 1, 2009Looks like Black Gold. Rich and complex. Here is a suggestion, try it in a cognac snifter, sounds strange, but I did this once and it actually brought out some subtle flavors..like cinnamon and hazlenut, and accented the chocolate tones. I love this stuff, definitely in my top five ndfreak77 (76), USA Jul 13, 2008 Poured from a tap a dark brown. Wow this stuff is fantastic. Tastes a lot like a mocha blend coffee. This is the best porter that I have tried. carruthm (1109), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 8, 2008 Updated: Jan 20, 2009old tasting so short notes. dark brown pour, tan head. malty caramel nose with smooth malt flavor. good palate balance. msante79 (778), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Jul 8, 2008 Had a while back. Pours dark ruby brown with tan head. Aroma is malt, molassas, caramel and some toffee. Flavor is smooth and creamy with hints of burnt malts and some caramel and toffee. Nice porter and an all time classic. gringo332 (236), Richardson, Texas, USA Jul 6, 2008 Not as bitter as many stouts are. I was surprised by the complete lack of head. Appearance: Very dark brown. Nice amount of tan head. Aroma: Coffee, smoke and dark malt. Hint of chocolate. Taste: smoke and coffee. SETANTA (581), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 2, 2008 Pours a very dark brown with some ruby highlights if held up to the light. Little head, and the aroma is mostly chocolate and coffee, more so chocolate. Taste is leaning more towards the coffee though. Very similar to a coffee or oatmeal stout in my opinion, but it’s very enjoyable and does not disappoint. Beerman6686 (1263), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 2, 2008 Pours a very very dark brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, coffee,and some smoke. Flavor is very roasted and coffee but not too bitter, very good porter. azlondon (655), Fribourg, Switzerland Jul 1, 2008 Appearance: Very dark brown. Nice amount of tan head.
Aroma: Coffee, smoke and dark malt. Hint of chocolate.
Taste: Again, smoke and coffee. Malty.
