craftycarl21 (510), South Hero, Vermont, USA Apr 2, 2008 Updated: Jun 18, 2008ok head, ok lacing, beautiful almost black coloration- reddish tints visible in the depths. aroma has espresso, chocolate, malts- beautiful porter smell. taste compounds the aspects of the aroma into a multi-faceted masterpiece- so enjoyable i didn’t want to put it down to type this rating. palate is remarkably smooth, can almost feel subtle coffee massaging your tongue. awesome beer. BMan1113VR (2756), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Apr 2, 2008 Pours with a small, light brown head. Decent retention in the form of a ring around the glass. Ultra dark brown body. Aroma is of vanilla and coffee. Taste is a nice balance of bitter coffee and hops. Mouthfeel is creamy with just a hint of lively carbonation. A decent porter, but I think this is a bit overated. esox (259), Oulu, Finland Mar 31, 2008 500 ml bottle. Maedium head is quite creamy, durable and brown in colour. Liquid is very dark brown, almost black. Heavy roasted malts and caramel in malts. Also some good coffee aromas. Lots of carbonatioin, which highlights roastiness. Very enjoyable balance of sweet caramel and dry bitter and roastiness in the finish. Strong and deep aromas make this a diverse porter with lots of character. EnSiFeRuM (501), Quebec, Canada Mar 29, 2008 Bouteile de 500 ml. La bière est de couleur brune avec des reflets marrons qui réussisent à percer le liquide malté. Une mousse brune moyenne est présente. Au nez des arômes de chocolat, de noix grillés, de café-moka, de vanille, de fumé, de mélasse, de caramel au beurre et de prunes se réunissent pour marquer mes papilles olfactives. En bouche le corps est moyen et la bière a une texture moyennement crèmeuse. Les flaveurs que ma langue peut détecter sont les noix grillés, la mélasse, le chocolat noir, le caramel au beurre, le café et le cacao. Le tout se termine par une amertume assez prononcée. austone (999), Turku; Pori, Finland Mar 29, 2008 Dark brown, tanned quite creamy head. Immense coffee and chocolatey nose. Flavour is malty, heavy on coffee, some cocoa. Finishes with some roasted bitterness. Medium bodied, nicely round palate. Easy and tasty porter. Daithi8640862 (24), Dublin, Ireland Mar 28, 2008 There is a lovely chocolate scent from this beer when poured and it is quite noticeable on the palate.well balanced with plenty of dryness in the finish. wacohoover (100), Garland, Texas, USA Mar 28, 2008 Smokey! I lve this beer for it’s complex start that holds steady through the finish. Big think dark head, pours dark, aroma is smokey and roasted malt. Flavor is rich and creamy, with a bit of dryness at the end. You can really taste the the quality going into this. redgold07 (308), Irving, Texas, USA Mar 26, 2008 Pours an opaque black color with a milk chocolate colored brown head. Aroma is great of roasted malt... very rich and chocolatey with caramel and coffee as well. Flavor is creamy and smooth with roasted coffee and chocolate flavors as well as a slight hop bitterness.
On tap.
