Ported (63), Ontario, Canada Sep 30, 2008 Dark brown, thin tan head. Fairly mild flavour, roated malts, hint of coffee, chocolate, brown sugar. Was hoping for some more punch. Very easy going.
Skidds (214), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Dec 2, 2008 Pours a very dark brown almost black. Small head which sort of suprised me. Aroma of flavour of roasted malts, coffee, molasses, black licorice, chocolate. Finish is a roasted bitter taste. Pretty damn good porter. coldbrewky (525), Saugerties, New York, USA Nov 30, 2008 A special treat from reakt in trade. A honey sweetness and reminder of fall in the nose. Pours dark....drk as a black steers toucous on a moonless prarie night. A reserved tight dense tan head sits upon the viscous liquid as if placed there by studious and certain hands. (feel free to use that one in yer ads Mr. Brewmaster). I will not bother to go into particulars about this lovely brew other than to say only the English are able to achieve this level of perfection with dark beers. My desire has been satieated. Again, reakt sank the Bismark with sending this one to me, so..... "The Hood found the Bismark and on that fatal day.....The Bismark started firing from 15 miles away! We’ve gotta sink the Bismark was the battle sound...but when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down." Ahhh Johnny Horton. mullet2007 (158), Newfoundland, Canada Nov 21, 2008 Pours a nice deep dark brown, nearly completely opaque with a thin creamy pale brown head. Smell is very prominent, lots of roasted malts. Some dark chocolate, some coffee, and a hint of raisins. Fllavour is very sweet at first, and a nice bit fruity too. Finish is bitter like coffee and dark roasted malt. Not much to speak of as far as hops go. It’s nice and chewy in the mouth, maybe a touch over carbonated. Nice beer though. Imperial-John (113), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Oct 12, 2008 Pitch dark black with small creamy tan head that thins quickly. Faint roasted nut and molasses aroma. Carbonated dark burnt roasted bittersweet chocolate. Light on flavour with a bittersweet burnt roast aftertaste. Strangebrewer (58), Chatham, Ontario, Canada Oct 1, 2008 Pours dark ruby-brown with almost no head, aroma of burnt raisons. A bit flat, sweet, malty licorice and metallic. Finishes like bitter black coffee. Definetly not for me.
