500 ml bottle from Holiday. This one pours and opaque black color with a one finger tan head that last a short while. The aroma was medium in strength with dark chocolate and a touch of molasses. The flavor is rich with more dark chocolate, cappuccino, plums , roasted malts and an earthy quality. The hops are effective and well integrated, but its the malts that carry the day with this porter. The mouthfeel is smooth, full and creamy. The finish is long and gratifying. Overall: This is a great porter and a malt-head’s dream. Recommended.

Oct 2, 2008 Good beer. My 11th a beerfest. I couldn’t find this beer booth at first. I would towel off from the pool and have a Porter with cheese and crackers.

Sep 27, 2008 Bottle at Nnudd tasting. Courtesy of Yngwie. Poured black with a medium beige head. In nose licorice and roasted malts. Medium bodied. It tastes like licorice, bitter chocolate and roasted malts. I thought it would be more complex but pretty good porter.

Sep 26, 2008 bottle. deep brown pour with a big fizzy tan head that never goes away completely. sweet coffee, bread and milk smells. little thinner than I was expecting (for some unknown reason) - but still had a chewy quality to it. tastes of dark fruits, toasted malts, dark chocolate and soy. interesting. not sure I’ve had a porter like this before. probably more complex than any I’ve had before - but maybe wouldn’t be dying to try again.
