SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA Apr 3, 2009 a nice example of a simple english porter .. nice roast level .. medium in the mouth .. . a bit tart, nice aftertaste .. . low foam .. a good brew that needs a less fancy bottle .. JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium Apr 1, 2009 Big bottle shared by a roaring fire. Pours black with tan, fading head. Nose of coffee with faint woodsmoke, a touch of sweet cola. Lightly sweet flavor with mild, roasty bitterness. Easy-drinking and lacking some heft in the middle. Dry finish and roasty aftertaste. bookman10 (84), Osseo, Minnesota, USA Mar 19, 2009 Pours with a big, thick head. A beautiful dark brown color, with complex tastes of coffee, chocolate, malt, etc. Reminds me a lot of Ruby Stout or even Guiness. A bit thin in the palate and perhaps a bit over-carbonated? Still, a good example of this style of beer and I’d recommend it. LordCorkscrew (939), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy Mar 13, 2009 Colossale porter smezzata con Alessio, uno sfrenato capolavoro; peccato che in quel momento cominciasse a prendermi un po’ di male allo stomaco. Però questo non significa che non me la sia goduta altonbrownd (1862), Amsterdam, Netherlands Mar 13, 2009 Bottle from Beers of Europe. Dark brown body with nice, white head. Nice roasty nose of chocolate and malts. Taste of coffee, chocolate, roasty malts. A bit sour and milky too. A really nice porter by an excellent brewery. imdownthepub (5089), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Mar 8, 2009 Bottle conditioned, 750ml cork & cage from Harbury Beer Fest 3.5 yrs ago. Dark brown to black with ruby hints, cream head. Silky smooth porter with cooked Bramley apple on the nose. Follws then into a coffee sweet body with a little treacle and fruit layering. A pudding, in a nice way, of a beer, very much enjoyed. thejon375 (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Mar 3, 2009 Excellent porter. Good coffee choc notes. Great thick body. Would recommend to anyone. kopher (296), New York, USA Feb 24, 2009 Reddish brown pour, quickly dissipating froth
Aroma is pretty roasty with cocoa and sour(?) hops
Sour flavor, pretty roasty and malty
Offensive front and weak body
