Emil (6075), Copenhagen, Denmark 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 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 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 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 Jul 1, 2004 Dark reddish brown coloured. Roasty malt aroma with fruity and vinous notes. Pleasant and rather complex. YourDarkLord (1800), Urbana, Illinois, USA Jun 6, 2004 What the . . . ?!?!? I love stout. I love port. This should have been a pleasure. Wasn’t. Started good with a beautiful garnet color and tan head. Aroma was faintly of port, some chocolate, cherries, floral. Still, it wasn’t an inviting or potent aroma. Medium body and a sweet taste that was not in the least appealing. A big disappointment. Hangover (764), Atlanta, USA Jun 5, 2004 Pours a thick black with a frothy light tan head which, surprisingly, is lasting. Aroma is primarily sweet chocolate, coffee and cherries. Taste is pretty agressive. Probably one of the more "in your face" stouts that I have had, most likely due to the port wine. Coffee, dried fruit, dash of hops, and a slightly odd sourness which I again, attribute to the port. Not an excellent stout, but above average. Points for being unique, and a great appearance. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA Jun 4, 2004 Bottle. Poured a large sized frothy tan head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. No carbonation observed, opaque and black hue. Malty, burnt, coffee, some chocolate, and roasty aroma. Roasty coffee flavor. Smooth and dry mouthfeel. Medium-full bodied stout with good lacing. Recommended.
