Nov 2, 2006 Big, dark brown lasting head over opaque black body. Sweetish, roasty aroma with notes of bitterness. Rounded. Smooth, rounded roasty and burnt malt taste with coffeeish, oily, chocolatey notes. Wide-bodied, smooth, oily, rounded. Bitter, burnt toast aftertaste. Excellent! A beautiful porter. (0.33l bottle.)

Nov 1, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus, and also one sampled with The Mad Indian. Both Bottles from 2000 (Sinebrychoff). Pours dark with a brown head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and fruit. The flavor is much the same, with certain qualities becoming more dominant as it warms. Great beer.

Oct 31, 2006 Bottle. Pours near black with an enormous, slowly dissipating red-tinged tan head. Aroma of soy sauce (weird...), prunes, chocolate, and caramel... very sweet overall. Taste is quite smoky and malty and it finishes dry with a bit of bitterness. Loses most of the sweetness that’s in the aroma, which I wish it didn’t. Seems like it’s missing something. Solid but not quite great.

Oct 29, 2006 bottle from whole foods. pours an opaque black, with carbonation that needs coaxing out. aroma is sweet caramel malts, roast...actualy quite like coffee. full bodied. flavor is tremendous: hot chocolate, caramel candies, little bits of toast, and a just slightly sweet finish. no noticable hops, but the finish is drier than you would expect. a tremendous porter.

Oct 29, 2006 Updated: Sep 11, 2007Bottle, molasses and malty aromas. Dark brown with a milk chocolate head. Light metallic tinge in the flavor. Roasted malty flavor with slight bitter finish. Tastes better the more you drink. Light chocolate, perhaps coffee notes. Dry palate with light bitter finish. Good.

Oct 26, 2006 Pours a beautiful black with a huge, solid, dark brown head. Aroma is fruity, soy sauce, and reminiscent of some weirder vegetables: leeks and string beans, perhaps. Flavor is similar, fruitier, some roastiness in the finish, still pretty dry, but round in weird way. I’m not really sure what to make of this thing.
