May 23, 2006 Very dark brown almost black pour with a nice mocha creamy head. The aroma is roast and chocolate. The flavor is very well blended smooth dark malt and roast. The acid is slight and the sweetness counteracts it. A very nice porter. If this was common in the 1750, those folks were lucky.

May 16, 2006 This is a very smooth and gentle porter, nice mouthfeel with just the right levels of carbonation and roasted acidity. Semi sweet chocolate and creamy coffee, a little bit of sweet fruitiness comes through as it warms, not overly complex, but worth trying.

May 16, 2006 This corked and caged bottled brew poured a large sized head of foam under a frothy top of fine to large sized mostly lasting light brown colored bubbles that left behind a semi-transparent dark ruby red brown colored softly carbonated body. The aroma was mild with sweet dark malty notes. The mouth feel was smooth initially and tingly in the finish with a mild sweet mild hop aftertaste. The flavor was thin with malty slightly hoppy mild dark malt notes.

May 12, 2006 75cl bottle from Sainsbury. What a surprise this was on a Monday evening to find this and the IPA in my local store. Very dark brown colour with thick lasting beige head. Choc/coffee/dry charcoal. Intense flavours in the mouth. Good fruit, black cherry, plum. Really like it. Bit too carbonated.

May 10, 2006 A refreshing porter taht will complement many foods very well. Very dark brownish red body with a thin head. Caramel and cocoa in the aroma. Pleasantly malty. Slightly sweet with lactose, but a smooth, refreshing clean finish.

May 6, 2006 Bottle: Ruby brown, not as dark as suspected, thin off-white head, spotty lacing. Pale bready aroma, not very roasty, otherwise semi-sweet. Fairly sweet malty flavor, semi-sweet roasted malt, not sour like the London style. Low hop profile, unlike most PNW styles. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Finishes semi-sweet, very pale roasted malts, somewhat like a belgian in its sweetness. Not heavy, fairly light in fact. Thanks to the real Larry for this one!
