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.

May 12, 2003 Dark brown color, hazed a bit. Mostly coffee in the nose. Smooth body, almost flat I though. Good bitterness and coffee in there, finishes long.

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.

May 24, 2003 This beer poured a very dark ruby red color and formed a nice medium tan foamy head that laticed the glass with lace as it subsided. Some carbonation was present. The aroma was of malt and wine with some chocolate elements. The flavor was of malt and some wine was present, with a fairly light body for this style and some bitterness in the finish. Not a bad stout, but then again, nothing special about it either.

Jun 12, 2007 pours a dark brown with thin head. Standard stout lineup - coffee, chocolate and some bitterness. I found it a little thin body wise.

Dec 16, 2003 Pours a dark brown with a nice frothy white head, and leaves behind a good deal of lace. Aromas of roast and chocolate malts, a musty smell, reminding me of old books, and the port comes through quite a bit. Flavors are mostly roasted malt and then the port attacks quite a bit. The palate was a bit too cloying for my liking. As I drank this beer, it almost felt like the back of my mouth was getting stuck shut. Kind of annoying. Not too bad of a beer, but the palate thing sucked.
