| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 23, 2004 Pours thick black with a foamy light brown head which is quite long lasting. Aroma is mainly sweet chocolate and coffee. Tastes coffee, dried fruit, some hops. Finish is dry and a bit hoppy.
Very nice. BeerPrince (1701), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 18, 2004 Dark red-brown, with a creamy tan head. Aroma is mainly roasted malt, with a touch of port. Dry, rich roasted chocolate flavor with a bitter finish, with subtle hints of port. Thin-bodied. I love port and stouts but the mix wasn’t for me. Aubrey (2774), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Aug 11, 2004 Deep brown with red highlights. Huge head at first; becomes stringy and lacey. Very active carbonation. Somewhat thin-bodied and light, but not necessarily watery. A little woodsy, with a big chocolaty sweetness. Maybe even a little milky, too. Kind of fruity with a light undertone of port wine (I was expecting it to be much more pronounced). Balancing bitterness in the finish. Not too bad, but not great. Emil (6074), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jul 27, 2004 Dark brown-red color, Sweet fruity, coffee aroma and taste, light body, light dry finish. Not a good port stout. Joeh (1908), Buckinghamshire, England
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 25, 2004 Bottle conditioned from Safeway, Totnes, Devon. (500ml). Rich stout with evident port notes. I’m not a huge fan of stout, but this is drinkable. loomis (43), Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jul 20, 2004 This is very good! I was surprised. Nice dark red pour. Very nice tingly bubbles. Decent head. Roasty and dry mouthfeel, a little cola-like. Dry port finish. Surprisingly good. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 16, 2004 Stored under a different name than what’s on the bottle, because their mother is a whore. No, no, not really, just like the word "whore". Pours dark red-brown. Nose malty, mildly roasty. Quite vinous. Flavor is malty at first, bit of caramel, the port character comes on at the end with some richness and sweetness. A bit of smoke at the end. Hildigöltur (5109), København, Denmark
