Jul 2, 2009 Bottle from double D. Clear and very dark ruby red with a moderate tan head that fades back into said ruby rather quickly. Aroma of dark chocolate, molasses, brown sugar and mild soy sauce. Taste of dark malt, mild chocolate and brown sugar, light coffee and mild hops. Fuller bodied than most porters but not terribly flavorful.

Jun 24, 2009 Pours black with some off white head. Faint chocolate coffee aroma. Body is not as thick as some other porters of this quality. Best thing about this beer was the flavor, which was very chocolaty with a hint of coffee and hops. This is a great porter and something I would suggest to check out.

Jun 22, 2009 Bottle, 50cl. Pours a black beer with a brown head. The aroma is roasted with chocolate and notes of coffee. The flavor is bitter chocolate, followed by a roasted and hoppy bitterness. The palate is dry. Overall a very nice porter.

Jun 21, 2009 pitch black with mild white head. sweet malt and some roasty scents to the nose. carbonation is moderate for style. some hop bitterness initially then a lot of caramel sweetness that perfectly blends into some roasty flavors, likely from black patent, which fades into some chocolate notes before a long drawn out finish from some residual sugars and yeasty esters. first class all the way, the best brown porter i’ve had with remarkable depth for only 5.4 ABV. amazing

does not count  Jun 7, 2009 Very nice dark beer, have yet to pour in a glass, but the aroma is mild. Plenty of maltiness to the taste. Can taste the roast. Not as heavy as some of this style, but a mild porter is still a porter.

Jun 7, 2009 Aweseome one, a little sweet a little bitter. It was a marvel when I drank it. And slept like a baby.

Jun 2, 2009 Very dark ruby red / black beer with a huge deep tan rocky head and really good lacing. Aroma is appealing with its strong bitter coffee beans and a good ammount of chocolate (a little on the powerdery side). Lots of flavour: bitter roasted coffee beans / malt and some chocolate with a touch of hops (really weak). The alcohol and bitterness blend together well. This is really tasty! For me, the mouthfeel was not terrible but just subpar and not to my liking. Slick, too smooth - don’t really like the feel of the hops. Short lived aftertaste. Very good beer none the less.
