3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. BLack with a fluffy tan head. Sweet roasted grain and cereal grain aroma and taste with milky chocolate notes and light sugar. Not bad.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz. bottle- Pours dark brown to black with a two finger tan head, aroma is roasted malts with a little spiciness. The flavor is big on the choclolate and smoke, it tastes like a campfire, smoke, smores and all. There is also a sweet candy like flavor in the aftertaste, one of the tastier porters I think I have ever had, not the best, but judged on just taste, this is a winner. Body is a little on the light side and carbonation is medium low.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a nice, dark color with light, tan head. Strong, roasted malt aroma. Oats as well. Nice coffee flavor. Milky texture with a hint of cherries. Kind of wish it was thicker.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
650mL bottle poured almost black with some red hues when held to a light source. There was about 2 fingers of lasting brown head which left some nice lacing. Aromas of roasted malts and chocolate with a hint of coffee. Taste is malty sweet with some chocolate and coffee and a very mild hoppy bitterness. Very well balanced and worthy of a sampling.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Dark mahogany with a thick creamy light tan head. Aroma is sweet and chocolatey, some raisins and stewed cherries, some roast. Palate initially is more sweet than roasty, a fair bit of caramel and chocolate along with dark cherries and some vanilla. I would swear this has touched a barrel for a while! Not boozy, but there are undertones of rye whiskey here that I cannot ignore. Subtle but definitely there. Nice.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Solid black, thick tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, some hop. Taste is sweet with a mild bitter finish. There is more hop in this beer than I was expecting and less bitter coffee or burnt malt flavor.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle shared by shigadeyo. Poured black color with an average frothy brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy dark chocolate and licorice aroma. Medium to full body with a dry smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy sweet creamy chocolate flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. Solid drinkable brew.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 oz bottle into English pint. Pours almost black with ruby red highlights when held up to the light. Has a thin beige head that falls too fast, leaving a collar of foam. Aroma is wonderfully strong in coffee and chocolate milk. Taste is lightly sweet with no bitterness; has a nice roasted malt character. Carbonation is average, body is a bit on the thinner side for this style. Delicious porter.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark, decent tan head. Roast malt aroma hints of coconut. Taste of malt with spicy finish. Nice beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark with a light tan head. Dark fruits, light caramel, light roasted malt, chocolate, and a light sourness. Thin bodied. Mildly earthy. A good porter but on the milder side. Easy drinking. Good.
