May 23, 2007 Aroma is just like hazelnut coffee . Flavor is similar with a touch of vanilla creamer in it. Superb.

Jul 7, 2003 Deep mahogany brown, thin tannish head that evaporated far to fast but leaves impressive sticky, spotty ink-blot lacing. Smell is deeply roasty/toasty malts with a slight burntness with notes of hazelnut, dark toffee, and coffee. Taste is a fair amount of roasted malts, burnt-like toast and coffee, a bit acidy in the middle into the end where a tiny little fruityness slips in, finishing with a hoppy mellow dryness that balances well. Feel is medium to thin in abundance, no real richness or heftyness to be found for my idea of a robust porter. Its a solid porter by many means and quite a good drinker, I was hoping for more though.

Jul 25, 2009 33cl bottle. Dark brown with red highlights and a lasting beige head. Aroma of cream, dark chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and caramel. The flavor has sweet caramel, medium roasted malt, some dark chocolate, lower bitterness, and just a touch of lingering sweet cream in the finish. Almost like rich chocolate milk. Medium bodied with smooth carbonation. I like that this is firmly a porter, and a great one at that. There is no way you are confusing this with a stout. I would love to have this on cask or bottle conditioned.

Nov 3, 2007 Pours black with a nice thick head. Big chocolate malt and espresso aroma ith a hint of licorice. Coffee and chocolate malt taste that has the consistency of a stout, but much lighter and smoother. Aftertaste is light and dry. Very good.

Jun 8, 2006 Now this is a Porter to be reckoned with. I’m telling you man, I will judge all porters, excluding Baltic styles, by this specimen. Pours coffee black w/ full creamy tan froth. Aroma of dark cocoa, roasted coffee beans, vanilla, and leather. Full nectar w/ soft residual effers. Dry with complex flavors of dark cocoa, roasted coffee and nuts, leather, cigars, and vanilla bean. The finish is perfectly bittered for your next sip. Overall: Well ballanced, complex, perfection. I wanted for nothing. I loved it, highly recommended.

Jan 23, 2003 Dark brown, light tan head. Aroma is hard to come by, a little malt, some sweetness. Nice coffee notes in the body, some roast. Smooth, but finishes rather sweet and a bit thin.
