| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Aroma of roasted, nutty malts with charred pan leavins followed by chocolate and molasses. Dark and opaque brown/black body with a 1" thick, lasting brown head and heavy lacing that coats the glass. Full bodied, exceptionally creamy and well balanced. Burnt toast, roasted nuts and mild cocoa flavors followed by a dose of brown sugar, crystal malt and a faint tobacco quality. Great ale that’s unique and comforting. richlikebeer (832), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2009 Bottle into a pint glass. The aroma is all coffee and sour soy sauce. The flavor is a hint of sour and coffee - almost like an American stout. Smooth and slick but high carbonation for the style. douglas88 (1577), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 15, 2009 11.2 oz from the Boise Co-op. Pours a dark brown color with a massive light-beige head and loads of sticky lacing. The aroma is smooth chocolates, roasted malts, maybe some smoke. The flavor is nice; sweet chocolates and coffee, some light fruit and a pervasive earthy-smoke flavor. Sort of thin, but nice. Really, this is a porter not an Old Ale. davidm (150), Melbourne, Australia
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Bottle. Remarkable and original beer. The aroma gives chocolate, biscuits, and fruits of the forest. Flavour starts sweet, with nice bitterness in the background and a long finish. Looks good, black with an average creamy head with good length. Oily in the palate, medium to full body. planky84 (113), , Greater London, England
