Bottle from South Bay Drugs. Opaque black with a medium tan head. Prominent roasty mocha nose, very nice. Mmmm very deep, roasty rich chocolaty flavor with the perfect amount of caramel sweetness underneath. Very well balanced with a little citrus hop note in there. Not astringent or bitter. The takeaway flavor is caramel chocolaty goodness. Alcohol content very well hidden. Doesn’t have a thick body like some stouts; more like classic medium/light porter body with soft carbonation. Very flavorful and drinkable. Highly recommended.

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.

Dark color. Smell of roasted coffee, malt, chocolate, liquid smoke, dark fruit, hops and a touch of caramel/toffee. Taste of coco, hops, roasted coffee beans, malt, bread, caramel and sugar. It was thin but still enjoyable. Wish it was a little thicker.

Bottle, thanks to shigadeyo. This was a huge gusher, but what was left pours opaque blackish brown with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, nuts, vanilla. Medium-light body and moderate carbonation. Tastes of dark chocolate, nuts, vanilla, molasses and coffee. Bittersweet espresso and tobacco finish. Seems more like a dry stout than a porter.

Straightforward but solid porter. Poured black with average head that was not sustained. Nice lacing. Aroma of dark fruits and chocolate, although not too much aroma. Flavor of choclate, malit with a little hop dryness at the end. Not overly complex. Smooth full bodied taste. Reallly nice porter.

Tap at Bergen bar. Cola like appearance, no head, slight bubbling. Slightly more chocolate than coffee in the aroma.
