jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Feb 27, 2008 Draft, pours a very dark almost black color with a thin tan head. Great aroma of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, licorice & smoke. Very full flavor with a nice slightly bitter aftertaste. KimJohansen (6645), Copenhagen V, Denmark Feb 24, 2008 Dark brown with tiny beige head. Fruity aroma with roasted malt and smoky notes. Sweet flavor with notes of roasted malt, coffee, liquerice and smoke. gpekar (221), Maryland, USA Feb 24, 2008 Poured a dark clear mahogeny brown with red highlights. The head was thin and disappeared quickly. The aroma was chocolate and smokey. The flavor was initially a smokey flavor then I picked up on chocolate and roasted coffee. There was a nice long finish to the beer with a slightly bitter undertone that lasted well. It had a bit of a dry finish. This was very good johndavidj99 (123), Township, Maine, USA Feb 22, 2008 Updated: Feb 29, 2008Dark red/black beer with nice off white head. Wonderful fruity/coffee/woody aroma! Very smooth and crisp! This is the real deal! Velvety smooth and easy to drink. It has a kind of a smoky taste and nice crisp bitter finish. gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Feb 19, 2008 Draft. Nice roasty, straight ahead porter. Smells of roasted coffee. Dark near-black color, small head. Extremely easy drinking and a clean, smokey finish. Perfectly balanced and refreshing. Acknud (770), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Feb 14, 2008 Very drinkable beer. Color is a near black. It was thinner than I expected but held its flavor well. This was of roasted malt and some slight chocolate. The hops peek through to enhance this nice brew. slimchill (773), Austin, Texas, USA Feb 13, 2008 Draught. Nose is smoke and chocolate. Deep black color with a thin creme-colored head. Robust and flavorful, lots of chocolate malt character. Very smooth and drinkable. gmonroe10 (172), Netherlands Feb 13, 2008 A full pour, dark brown and tan solid head..aroma of chocolate malts, some yeast, and faint fruit tones. Low carbonated, and extremely smooth and creamy...slightly bitter on the aftertaste, but very pleasant. However, tastes a bit light as well for a porter without the richness of many other porters i’ve tried. I would prefer it with a little more weight..but that being said, still great.
