35,5 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 19.12.2010
Aroma has coffee, licorice and hints of semi‐dark chocolate. Flavour has well roastred coffee, some chocolate and licorice. A porter for my liking. Could be more rich though.

Bottle into a goblet, pour is a dark ruby black with a nice fine brown head. Taste is of, coffee, roasty, chocolate with a lite black pepper. Finish is clean with a malt pepper. Very good porter.

12oz Bottle. Tasted at the RIFT Porter tasting. I thought this one fared well overall, giving a fresh clean malty body, but nothing about it really stuck out. The body is balanced, the roast is there to support, and the flavors are nice. Maybe a more subtle beer for a more focused time.

Pours black/red with a thin beige foam head. Fantastic fudge/chocolate malty flavours with dried prune notes. Nice smoothy mouth with a dry finish and subtle bitterness. I really like traditional porter style when brewed at its best like this! Cheers

Plutôt rouge sombre tirant vers le brun. Malt rôti, chocolat noir et caramel en arôme, un peu de fumé également. Elle est vraiment robuste et riche en sucre, très agréable en bouche.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled 2/12/2012. Pours fairly crystal clear dark reddish brown color with a nice 2 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some decent lacing on the glass. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, biscuit, nuttiness, light coffee, slight fruitiness, and herbal hops. Very pleasant and balanced aromas with decent strength. Taste of chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, biscuit, toast, toffee, nuttiness, slight coffee, light fruitiness, and light herbal spiciness. Light bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of chocolate, caramel, biscuit, toast, and roasted malt on the finish for a good bit. Great balance of flavors, and a nice malt backbone; with no cloying sweetness at all. Medium carbonation and body; with a nice creamy and slightly slick mouthfeel. Very easy to drink with no alcohol presence other that a slight warming after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice porter. A good amount of robustness, with great flavor balance; and very enjoyable. Really well done.

Pours a very dark brown, almost black, with a beige head. Aroma is more subtle. Chocolate, nuts, and roasty. Taste is very sweet. It is still roasted, yet a chocolate flavor appears and is dominant over others. Coffee undertones. Lighter with an oily texture. I think this is more like drinking candy than an actual beer. Much to sweet for my taste.

Pours dark dark brown with a minuscule tan head. Smells roasty and chocolately. Taste a bit chocolatey. Smooth and nice.

Pours a clear and dark brown beer with a beige head. The aroma is weak with malt, soya and notes of slate. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is sweetness with some bitterness. Overall this is an average beer.

Pours copper with a beige head. Aroma is light roasted malt, light coffee, chocolate and caramel. Flavour is roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and coffee.
