Jan 1, 2004 Pours almost like a hazelnut brown ale but drinks almost like a stout. Rich deep brown colour preceeds a tantalizing roasted chocolate aroma and a smooth chocolate coffee taste. Lingers nicely with a slight bitter aftertaste - truly enjoyable beer.

Dec 28, 2004 Pours dark with a deep ruby shade when held to the a light. Light tan head with minimal retention (Possibly a bit colder than it should have been). Excellent aroma of chocolate with some hint of mocha and caramel. Full of body. Pleasant finish with minimal bitterness. An excellent porter!!

May 14, 2005 Thanks Chuck! Pours to a fairly dark brown color. With an off-white head that laces pretty well. The aroma is VERY nice. Dry roasted malts. Coffee, light chocolate. The palate is very creamy and dry. Light bitterness. The flavor is chocolately, coffee, grassy hops, really tasty. More porters should strive to be like this one. There’s a bit of lactose type sweetness to this one. I like this one a lot. Very good roastyness. The palate is very well balance to the flavor. I could drink this a lot!

Dec 20, 2006 Updated: Oct 25, 2009Bottle: Extremely dark-ruby coloured with a small creamy, tanned head; dry, robust roastmalty nose with an aroma of freshly ground coffee; light to medium bodied; dry moderate bitter flavour; fruity, chocolatey-bitter and coffeeish finish. A very rich and flavoursome, very well crafted Porter............ Re-rate (10/08), bottle sampled at the Counting House, City of London: It seems, that this gorgeous brew has become even better: very rich, very flavoursome, very smooth... A better Porter is hard to imagine!

Jan 12, 2007 Delicious. This is a full flavored porter. Tastes of chocolate and coffee. Mouth feel is smooth and creamy. One of the best porters out there.

Aug 13, 2007 Pours dark brown, with a small, thin light tan head. Smells of big roast and nuts. Alot of dark malts and hints of mild chocolate are there as well. Very rich and thick mouthfeel, alot of roast and chocolate as well. Nice body, really good flavor. This is how I like my porters, thick and toasty. The finish is nutty, alot of toasted malt and the aftertaste is just slightly bitter, but masked by the roast. Excellent porter. Very well done.

Jun 25, 2005 Bottle. Foamy brown head that was nice but faded too quickly, leaving a bit of lacing. Strong shot of espresso flavor and bitter chocolate. Very smooth, with flavor washing over and no irritating carbonation. Would like some more body, but great all around.
