bhensonb (3010), Woodland, California, USA Dec 20, 2007 Draft at the brewpub. Sort of a cherry, berry, roasted malt aroma. Color is brownish mahogony, with a beige, lacing head. Medium body and carbonation. Flavor is smooth roasted malt, with a nearly kiwi or strawberry aspect. Angeloregon (2002), Portland, Oregon, USA Dec 7, 2007 At Hedge House in Portland--8.3% 2007 batch--Deep, dark opaque black-mahogany with a lavish thin and rocky beige head that dissipated. Great creamy lace curtain. Faint coffee and vanilla nose. Rich vanilla creamy crisp mouth feel with waves of chocolate. troopie (507), USA Dec 23, 2006 Draught at restaurant. Dark orange with tan head. Not reminiscent of porters I’m used to. Hoppy aroma. Creamy body with much hoppiness. This is really more like a winter ale than a porter. It’s a good winter ale. acrdz (4376), Boulder, Colorado, USA Dec 23, 2003 Dark orange and brown with a medium sized tan head. Has a soft creamy spiced aroma of nutmeg, pine, apple cider and plums. Big malt presence, with lots of dark cherries and plums in the flavor.
