Oct 3, 2008 Pours a deep cola brown with a fizzy finger thick head. The nose is a bit fruity with malt and a hint of coffee. The flavor is similar, with less fruit but more malt. Subtle coffee in the finish. A bit too much carbonation.

Sep 30, 2008 Nose has roast coffee, cocoa, nuts and wood. Black, tiny tan head. Flavour is a jolt of coffee, some liquorice notes and a dollop of dark chocolate. Full bodied, balanced, bitter and pleasantly dry at the finish. Wonderful! Thank You Torontoblue.

Sep 21, 2008 750ml bottle, courtesy of Daknole. Pours a deep reddish brown color with a fairly large off white head. Nose is coffee, chocolate and vanilla bean. Smooth, silky palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. Flavors mimic the nose with just hints of the aforementioned flavors. They all blend well together without any one of them trying to dominate. Very enjoyable brew.

Sep 21, 2008 Fairly clear, dark ruby red body with a light tan head. Malt aroma, coffee chocolate and then some smokey notes. Taste is very much the same as the aroma promises, tried the Fullers London Porter a few weeks back and whilst this one was good enjoyed the Fulers more.

Sep 4, 2008 Impressive corked 750mL bottle from Malthouse (last one sorry!). Poured dark dark ruby red, with a beautiful tan head which hung about. Very prominent aromas, strong hints of chocolate/coffee, burnt malt, vanilla. Flavour is bitter straight away, with intense chocolaty bitterness, faint coffee, hint of vanilla. Amazing porter, my favourite yet. Balanced yet complex with all the flavours working together seamlessly.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle sampled from Green Dragon in PDX at Meet the Brewer event with Alasdair Hook--Poured a deep dark black-brown body with a medium beige head. Chalky, robust, nutty, chewy nose. Lots of chocolaty maltiness. Prickly mouthfeel that ended creamy and dry. Hints of oatmeal, vanilla, coffee, toffee, and chocolate in this complex stout. Bittering hoppiness in the dry follow through. Very nice British brew.
