Very dark and smooth carmal taste. A great random pick for me at tacoma boys in puyallup

It pours a dark brown, almost black, but brown when you look close. There is a finger medium tan head that fades quickly but there is good lacing. The aroma is very nice. Light coffee is dominant, with some toffee and light vanilla. The taste is very similar to the aroma, so that is nice surpise. The taste though is pretty light overall and malty. It tastes like sweet coffee. Mouthfeel is a little disappointing, not much there but allows you to drink a lot of it.

500ml bottle, sweet aroma, a bit watery and sweet. This isn’t the best, but.not great.

500ml bottle with a mountain goat humping a glass of beer on it. Pours a pitch black with a 1 finger dark tan head. This is a relatively appealing looking beer. Smells like roasted chocolate. This is a very tasty desserty beer. Taste is chocolate espresso goodness. has a slightly chewey mouthfeel but isn’t as thick as a few other porters. It’s a nice balanced, smooth taste. Great porter, will buy agian.

2/9/11. 500mL bottle. Almost opaque black pour with hints of red when held to the light, all under a big, thick, brown head that cuts in half fast but laces a ton. Hugely sweet aroma filled with raisins, molasses, dark fruits, a charcoal edge, and more. Similar sweet and sour fruity flavor with a bigger dusty charcoal edge and bigger hints of dark roasted malts. Tasty!

Bottle from LCBO. Pours a brown body with lots of red highlights. Creamy white head that left some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, some coffee,and sweet chocolate. Flavour did the aroma justice and even added some cocoa and brown sugar. Very nice indeed.

Bottle: pours deep blackish brown, frothy tan head that recedes to a permanent thick ring. Notes of baking chocolate, caramel, nuts, subtle cedar, sweet malts. Really appealing. subtle tingling in the back of your throat from the carbonation. Rich mouthfeel and sticky on the lips. Molasses, prune, esters, cocoa, biscuits and really smooth finish. Alcohol is quite masked. The barrel aging really makes this unique and appealing. Quite good.

UPDATED: JAN 22, 2011 Bottle, pours muddled brown with moderate & diminishing tan head. Light cocoa and dark malt with caramel. Flavors of dark malt (light fruity esters) and some cocoa in medium-lean body, warmth from alcohol in finish with a touch of noble hops for balance, not cloying.
