Black colour, rich head. Roasty aroma with notes of smoked ham. Roasty flavour with long, bitter aftertaste.

Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of chocolate, malts, and caramel. Poured pitch black in color with a large, creamy, dense, rocky, brown head that lasted throughout. Great looking head. Opaque. Excellent lacing. Flavor is medium sweet and slightly bitter. tastes of chocolate, roasted malt, light caramel, and light maple syrup. Medium body. Dry texture. Soft carbonation. Roasted malt and chocolate finish is dry. A very nice porter.

Black, with a huge brown head. Really big. Powerful like a gorilla. Smells milky, chocolatey, and some vanilla, too. Hints of coffee. Smooth, rich palate. More milky chocolate, coffee and vanilla in the aroma. Very tasty stuff.

Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverages, 500 ml bottle. Dark purple to black pour with an ever present mocha colored head. Strong aromo of ripening fruit, coffee and chocolate. Solid flavor with day old coffee, baker’s chocolate and plenty of potting soil. Thickish mouthfeel - just enough chalkiness and grit. Excellent Porter.

Bottle. Pours very dark black with a medium beige head. Aroma is filled with dark malts--chocolate, coffee, caramel, with some dark fruit and nut smell. Flavor is similar, lots of chocolate, coffee roastiness, some smoke even. Bittersweet finish from malt. Delicious.

Yay! Rare beer for me! The first of 21.5L of beer that I brought back from Las Vegas in my childrens luggage.

Dumped out a massive brown crown even with a soft pour. Super dark brown brew. Keeps a decent amount hanging around but leaves almost no lacing :( The aroma is pretty obvious early on but does fade: lots of chocolate, quiet coffee, good amount of roast and I can swear that I have found orange hiding far in the background. The taste is more coffee than chocolate when warm but that flips after awhile. Good bitterness with a slight citrus and leafy hop taste. Some nutty taste as well. Not much else there but that is irrelevant cause it’s just so damn drinkable. Smooth and higher than mid bodied; finishes dry and bitter. Pretty good. The down side - I’ve got a quarter of a glass filled with sediment and in this case this beer is much much better clean.

Bottle. Coffee colored pour with a tan head. Malty aroma - roasty, smoky, nuts, light wood. Really well balanced flavor - hops and good roasted malt character. Great palate. Overall, one of the better porters that I’ve had.

0.5 l bottle. Black with tan head. Strong roasted aroma with coffee, bitter chocolade, charcoal and menthol. Strong dry, roasted and bitter flavor wit mentholy hop flavor. Soft and oily palate with nice light carbonation. Dry, bitter, roasted and hoppy finish with menthol and salty licorice. This is more like a good imperial stout.
