| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2006 Pours a very nice deep brown with a thin, milk chocolate colored head. Aroma is roasted coffee and chocolate malted milk balls. Tastes a bit smoked, with milk chocolate, and strong brewed coffee. Nice full mouthfeel and ends a tad bitter. I really like this one. A good find! xproudfoot (729), Paleolithic, Pennsylvania, USA

Nice rootbeer tufty lightbrown head head on mahogany almost black beer. Rum raisin wood chocolate roasty bitter chocowood... rummy log cabin...dark fruit...perty good.
Re-rate: bottle from oliver’s. Wasn’t so great; lagery corn aroma, blackbread, corny can flavors, burn molasses. May have been old, the imports at Olivers have to be chosen carefully, they don’t seem to have good turnover. Not altering the numerical rating much as a result of skepticism that this is the beer’s fault. pivo (2535), Germany

Looked like iodine and the froth rose like a balloon filled with chocolate ice cream. Hung there all rocky w/ a lingering fluffy lace. Beautiful! Aromas of sweet roasted malt. Medium nectar w/ mild carbonation creating a silky texture. A strong roast component kicks in pushing flavors of dark cocoa, coffee, leather. A mellow hop factors in on the end that lends a nice balanced bitterness to it. The finish s bittered well w/ lingering charcoal. Not sweet at all ending w/ a slight lactose souring. .

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 12, 2006 bottle, from Downeast Bev. Co. pours balck, with one of the darkest heads i’ve seen. just beautiful. aroma is of bannana and chocalate with some mocha. strong burnt malt flavor, with bitter chocolate. hints of vannila maybe some caramel too. nice hint of hops in the finnish gives it some bite. leaves a coffee aftertaste on the palate. well balanced. smooth and creamy. not a hint of alcohol. definatly one of the best porters i’ve tried.
