Apr 11, 2008 Pours dark brown with reddish tinge. The flavor is plum and toffee. The flavor is very easy with some spiciness and roasted maltiness. It finishes with a sweet malt. I mostly pick up plums. It is tasty though. Finishes dry and nice.

Apr 10, 2008 There’s a little bit of a schwarzbier-like malt, which I don’t like. But something about the little bit of hops mixed with some roasted/other malts is quite nice, especially resulting in solid finish. Still though, that schwarzbier-like malt plus a lactose taste are present throughout bringing down an otherwise exceptional porter.

Apr 10, 2008 Pours a very dark ruby with a very nice tan head. Nice lacing too. Some nice roasted toffee and coffee notes in the nose, but there also a bit of a metallic smell in there that I’m not very fond of. The flavor is really nice. Toffee, mild creamy coffee, milk chocolate and some smokey/roasted notes in support. The mouthefeel is a bit thin and over-carbonated, but not unbearable by any means. Very enjoyable beer.

Apr 2, 2008 (Bottled, 0.75l) Very dark ruby brown with a smallish, tanned, head. Sweetish, caramely malt, and lots of milk chocolate in the flavor, with slight roastiness and some lactic sourness. Roasted-malty flavor turns sweetish and caramely towards the end, with not much bitterness, but some lactic feel. Medium-bodied, slicky and slightly foamy-carbonated palate. Maybe a bit sweet and straightforward, but quite enjoyable still.

Mar 28, 2008 Burgundy-accented brown. Pruney, plummy nose with light cocoa accents. Soft toffee notes with a neat dark malt character. A little too fizzy...less would allow the fruit to come through more.
