Bottle from biggcb. Deep chocolate-brown body, thick light tan head. Strong roasty aroma with subtle, light chocolate. Creamy, light body, chalky, with roasted malt, milk chocolate, and bitter hops. Light alcohol notes. Average complexity. Basic but well-made.

Huge, huge thanks to blankboy for sharing his bottle of this with me. Very dark brown, small bubbly brown head. Great aroma - chocolaty, rich, roast, wow! Taste is just as good if not better. Rich bitter roast, sweet chocolate. Nice bitter linger. Full bodied. Complex, yet so drinkable. Probably the best porter I have ever had and one of the best beers I have ever had.

Thanks retorp for the share. Pours dark brown/ black with a nose of earthy coffee, dark fruit, vanilla, and some cherry?. Flavor is roasted malt, ripe dark fruit, coffee, bitter chicory, up through the finish. Very enjoyable porter that is medium-bodied and finishes clean and somewhat bitter. Great porter.

50 cl bottle. Black colour with a nice head. Very little aroma of roastedness but in a smooth way. Also smooth flavour of roastedness and sweetness. Overall very smooth but with a very light bitter and watery finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pretty nice porter. Molasses, very slight cocoa powder. This doesn’t seem to be the most complex of beers, but it’s not simplistic and it’s pretty darn tasty.

Rating #1800! Bottle from Premier Gourmet in Buffalo. Thanks to rudy for picking it up for me. Deep ruby-brown with a moderate tan head. Big, roasty aroma with notes of coffee, bitter cocoa, burnt sugar and oak.Slightly thin mouthfeel, but appropriate for the style. Fantastic flavour of dark chocolate, malted milk and slightly over-roasted coffee, with a lactic twinge and some alcohol warmth in the moderately dry finish. A bit strong perhaps, but pretty fine otherwise.
