3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Poured a nice ruby brown color. Dark chocolate smells with sweet toffee hints. Off white head that last. Smooth, creamy and oily beer. Very nice. Taste just like it smelled. Creamy sensation with dark chocolate, toffee, caramel and a bit of liquor. Long, a bit bitter, finish. A must to taste.Enjoy

Just amazing. The second best porter that I have tasted. Sam Smiths is first, but this is very close. Who cares. Maybe this is even better. Like argueing whether a Rolls or a Bentley is better; pointless, but fun.

On-tap. Dark brown, nearly black color with a nice tan head that fades quickly. Caramel, coffee and chocolate aroma. Taste is pretty complex with a mixture of chocolate, roasted malts, with light caramel and smoky notes. Smooth and creamy. Delicious brew.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle 50 cl. Pours black with red nyanses and a brown white small lacing head. Nice roasted and licorice notes at first sip following with coffee, some fruity probably raspberry notes and a dark chocolate finish. Many layers of good complex taste. Very nice porter.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured from an 11.2 ounce bottle into a snifter. Pours a darker brown with a thin beige head of foam. Aroma has notes of molasses fire roasted cherries, and licorice. Roasty. The taste is toasty and earthy with a dry, fairly dark chocolate bitterness throughout. Just right on the palate. A near sessionable porter.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma struck me as being very smokey, which I wasn’t expecting. Then the roasty and charred smells came and then it was chocolate and coffee. Taste is same with a nice creamy mouthfeel and, surprisingly for its ABV, a bit of warmth in the finish. An extremely balanced beer, so balanced, in fact, that it comes across a little, er, bland, or unadventurous. But, nice beer though, though.

500ml bottle at Cork Cricket Club. Surprised it taken me so long to try this one. Pours a deep brown with a nice big tan head. Aroma is nice blend of coffee, biscuit and chocolate. Medium malt sweetness and a nice roasted bitterness. Smooth, full and roasty finish. Very, very good porter.

Smokey notes, the strength makes it smooth, opens the pallete nicely. Aroma is very smokey too, almost like smoked bacon.
