Marsiblursi (1631), Göteborg, Sweden Oct 2, 2006 (Bottle) Pours dark red/brown. Aroma of chocolate and light roasted malt. Milk-ish nose with notes of coffee. Milk and dark chocolate in flavour with some alcohol. Harsh, roasted,coffee bitter aftertaste with hints of grapefruit/citrus hops. No taste that lingers. Medium, malty boby. 00cobraR (1096), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Oct 1, 2006 Another nice brew from meantime. Aroma is that of malts and semi sweet chocolate. Flavor is very much the same. This is a good porter. molassesfan (201), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Oct 1, 2006 Pours dark brown, almost looks like a brown ale rather than a porter. Aroma of caramel and coffee, but rather faint. Taste is about the same, again faint. Palate is thin. I’d say they took a good porter and watered it down. The IPA was much better. pantani (1894), Salinas, California, USA Sep 20, 2006 Body is a foggy dark brown, no head, and looks like very little carbonation. The cork has no pop to it, just like the ipa. Aroma is a bit of caramel, light coffee, mollases. Taste is like a rocky road ice cream, along with a slight alcohol influence and almonds also. Very differant. PetetheMeat (546), Hove, Denmark Sep 18, 2006 Black, beige lasting head. Very impressive appearanec the head is almost as dense ad whipped cream. Mild, friendly aroma with malty sweetness, roasted malts and licorice. Rich flavour with more malts. Roasted bread. Some licorice - and a touch of chocolate too?. Great london porter. waolsen (1220), Littleton, Colorado, USA Sep 7, 2006 bottle.a very clean brown/red pour with thin tan head. hops, sugar, chocolate, roasted aroma. smoked taste becomes more present in the aftertaste. light body, caramel, sweet chocolate, a little coffee, earthy and slightly metallic. slightly bitter finish. could the commercial description be a little longer? I don’t think it got across saying absolutely nothing. This is a descent porter. I was expecting more though. alaskanwarren (286), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 6, 2006 Looks like a porter. :) Aromas are fantastic, chocolate, cream, caramel, roasted malt. Taste is a tad sweet, super smooth, nice mellow smokey and roasted flavors. Really well balanced. I poured a little on my vanilla ice cream. Delicious. rudolf (1734), Buffalo, New York, USA Aug 19, 2006 Dark brown body, ruby light shines through. Nose is chocolate, caramel, some oxidation, milk. Flavor is roasty cohcolate, caramel, slight astringency, nutty chocolate milk finish. Hints of smoke
