550ml Bottle - Gravity Bottle Market - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Nice dark malts with a slight coffee and chocolate aroma.
Appearance – Dark reddish brown in color, thin head and clear.
Flavor – An interesting stout flavor. Very fruity with a high alcohol flavor.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, Nice texture with a dry finish.
Overall – A very good stout with a interesting port flavoring to it. Will have to try this again to see if I get the same flavors the next time.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle from Bottleworks in Seattle, WA--Poured a dark dark black-brown body with a hint of red and a thick grey-tan head. Roasted sweet vinous tart nose. Chocolaty and chewy. Port flavor added an interesting touch. Thi sbeer would;ve been good with a sharp cheese.

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle. Very dark brown pour, medium head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Similar flavor with a somewhat bitter finish. Decent stout, but I didn’t find any port characteristics in it.

Jul 26, 2008 Updated: Aug 6, 2008Misleading .The whole ’port inclusion’ is like a damn firework on a rainy everning. The whole port concept is wack .Its so mellow and almost redundant cause its not even really there. This stout is well brewed regardless . Lots of chocolate and roast ovbiiously .Winey and chewey flava-.

Jul 8, 2008 Handpulled cask at JDW St. Albans. Brown/black with beige head. Very wholesome tasty brew with lovely roasted malts, chocolaty bitterness and a touch of port. Very morish.

Jun 28, 2008 Labeled as O’Hanlon’s Ruby Stout. Shared at the Lost Abbey Angle’s Share Release. Roasted aromas as expected with hints of tartness. Tartness came through more in the flavor, but still never overtook the expected roasted and burnt malt flavors. Not too bad.
