Apr 3, 2002 Delicious porter -- bitter roasty aroma translates wonderfully into the taste -- it stays nicely on the tongue, and dissolves into a mild aftertaste. Deep brown with a pleasant creamy head.

Jun 2, 2004 Bottle. Sweetish. Cookies and chocolate malt. Low bitterness, not too challenging, an easy swiller, average.

Apr 24, 2006 Profound brown coloured hue mounted by a small off-white head, diminishing quickly to nothingness. Rather straightforward porter showing good roasted malt extraction, generating soft earthy truffles notes that linger on. Restrained acidity from the grain, limited flavor complexity. Biscuity malt profile. Medium bodied, honest fair carbonation initially dulls out a bit after ~10 minutes. Right in the middle of dry and sweet. A mellow bitterness develops toward the finish, but appears to be derived more from malt than the shy hops.
