Bottle. This pours a brown so dark it almost appears black, but not quite. The head on this is a rather fine, beige colour that quickly disperses. Aromas of smoked/roasted malts and a hint of liquorice-like sweetness. A nicely dry, roasted flavour compliments the aromas and the port is subtle yet noticeable on the front of the tongue. Very smooth and fairly thick on the palate with a lasting dry bitter finish. A rather impressive stout.

Sep 9, 2008 Updated: Sep 17, 2008Wow, this is a great stout with lots of chocolate flavours, then a creamyness and a bitterness coming through dont know why they dont sell it in pubs it is surely a great stout. Sadly I try to avoid chocolate/coffee flavoured stouts.

Aug 27, 2008 Pours almost pitch black, fluffy white/brown head. Mainly chocolate nose with a slight vinous tinge to it. Strong chocolaty bitterness is the main flavour, not a lot of port coming through at all. There is a very slight fruitiness which is probably due to the port. But a good stout regardless! Very drinkable.

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.
