| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 31, 2008 Poured a very dark brown, like your usual porter, with only a slight head. Smells like a fresh pot of coffee :-) loved it. Finish with a bit of a wood flavor. This is a really good porter. ketchepillar (498), Des Moines/Grinnell, Iowa, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 31, 2008 Gushed quite a bit when opened making me nervous. Beautiful beer. Charred, cherry, apples, woody alcohol. Very smooth, but almost a little too flat for my tastes, which is saying a lot, or perhaps it just seems so b/c it’s a little thin. Leaves a little bitter tingle on the front of the tongue. Lengthy, evolving finish. TrefwoordPunk (556), Leiden, Netherlands
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 22, 2008 Bottle 50 cl. Pours completely black with a small tan head and a coffee-like roasted aroma. The taste is more like mocca than espresso, very roasted and not really smooth, but in a good way. A bit sweet, with a long bitter finish. Good, but not groundbreaking treadyroc (112), St. Leonard, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 19, 2008 Pours very dark w/almost a ruby tint to the top. No noticeable aroma to speak of, but finishes cleaner than say a Gonzo. Not as thick, either; a much more even palate. Just a hint of sweet at the end. barleyPops (1081), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 13, 2008 Pours a deep dark brown, near black, with little head and wisps of khaki lace. Aroma is chocolate, coffee and some roasted malts. Flavor is more of the same, but skewed a bit more towards the coffee and roast rather than the chocolate. A little on the thin side, but easy drinking and enjoyable. Cryotek (206), Pawtucket, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 12, 2008 Black color with not much of a head. Very roasty burnt initial smell. Tastes very toasty, cappachino, coco, roasted malt. Light medium body, sweeter finish then start. A very nice porter. Palidor19 (1798), Brandon, Florida, USA
