On tap @ Mr Goodbar Buffalo NY. Disappointed at this one. Very light inthe body, licoorice, black sambuca taste.no head on draft pour.Prefer the roastiness of America. Just OK in my book Cant touch the better American porters.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
500ml bottle. Served in an english pint glass @ 54.5°. Aroma is dark fruits (dates, prunes), port wine, licorice, vanilla, with a touch of roasted malt. Black color (can’t see through at all) with a smallish khaki head. Initial taste is a chocolate whipped cream with vanilla extract, some roast lurking in the background and dark fruits which are followed by cocoa, dark fruits, some roasted malt, which has a touch of burnt character, and what almost tastes like some bourbon barrel aging by products e.g. char, vanilla, alcohol, dark caramel. The body is thick and creamy but finishes balanced with some lingering dark fruits and roast. I think this is a great beer, underrated to be sure.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
bottle. black with thick foamy tan head. big fresh raisons, roasted malts and a bit of bread in the aroma. very sweet. raison, sugars, candy, coffee. alcohol has a strange presence and plays the flavor. not bad but not one I’d go for often. The raisons are so identifiable, more than in any beer I’ve had.

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Dark brown pour with red highlights and a puffy tan head. Aroma is very sweet and dark with some roasted malts, dark fruits, a little bit of alcohol, and candy. Flavor is very rich with some nice dark malts, roasted chocolate and coffee flavors, and a smooth caramel and malt finish. Very nice porter all around.
