UPDATED: NOV 23, 2010 Bottle 0.5L, batch 377, from Allen thanks very much. A dark beer with huge brownish head and good lacing. Smell is on toasted malt and chocolate. Woww a terrible beer, very creamy, nice dark chocolate notes and very smooth, no acidity not acrid. The malty side is well combined with a dry fruit and specially a dried prune dominant, the chocolate complexity is intense compare to the relatively low bitterness. Lovely porter a bit syrupy, the best I had, perfect brew for this alcohol level.

Poured from 550ml bottle into dimpled mug. Opaque brown in color with 1 finger creamy head. Aromas of dark malt, chocolate and coffee. Tastes of roasted malt,semi-sweet chocolate, and coffee. Excellent balance on the malt and hops. This a traditional porter at it’s finest. Unfortunately, at $8.99 per bottle it will have to be an occasional treat.

Pours a deep heavy black with a dense, light brown head. Incredible aroma. Im getting dark chocolate, coffee, raisins, and some caramel cream. Flavor isn’t very far from the mark. Delicious roasted dark chocolate malts, caramel, sweet dark fruits, and some ground coffee. Deep roastiness without being smoky. Great full bodied mouthfeel, with sweet dark chocolate bringing back childhood munchies. Awesome beer. One of the best porters ever.

Poured black with an off-white, lacing head. Nice aroma of licorice, roasted malts, coffee, burnt wood and hops. Becomes fruity as it warms up with plums, raisins. Medium dense with low carbonation, but still strong on the palate. Sweet taste, with hoppy, dry aftertaste. Very nice.

Svart som natten, men toppen legger seg litt raskt. Dufter mørkt og mystisk av mild kaffe og mørk sjokolade. Smaken fyldig, men samtidig frisk. Ettersmaken er lang etterlater dilemmaet om en skal fortsette å nyte den eller ta seg en munnfull til.

This black as a tropical night brew is a very nice experience. Full oily body with a medium head. Good balanced coffee roasted cereals Suprisingly fresh finish.
