BuckNaked (1204), Tempe, Arizona, USA Dec 5, 2005 Bottle: Black, dark body with a light brown head. Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, sweet chocolate, light coffee. Taste is light chocolate, suprisingly little roast based upon the aroma, grains, molasses, mint, all being solid real flavors. Medium bodied, a tad light at times, but never water. TheEnemy (422), Chicago, USA Dec 5, 2005 330ml bottle. Pours inky black; big thick fluffy light-tan head with exceptional retention & lacing. Nice aroma of roast grain, chocolate, coffee & black licorice. Taste is mostly dark roast grain with some chocolate, a dose of molasses and a slightly warming alcohol. Slightly thin mouthfeel, average creamy palate. Dandy stuff. Nejhleader (924), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 4, 2005 Those fins know how to make a porter. Thick testure, bold taste, almost a chocolate toffee taste. I remeber I tried this a long time ago and it reminded me of motor oil, but now that I have grown accustomed to the taste of fine brews, this is one of the best porters i’ve ever had. oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Dec 3, 2005 Pours a nice jet black. Aromas of chocolate/smoke/coffee. Flavor was kinda bitter with the alcohol showing through a bit. Nice chocolate flavors. Epor (13), Finland Nov 29, 2005 Bottle. Pours opaque black, brown head.
