| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. Maria (6345), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 3, 2007 Thank you Steve/Coldbrewky - or rather Barbara, who bought the beers for us :) It’s a pitch black beer with a reddish glow and a nice head. The aroma has nice roasted notes with chocolate and a touch of smoke. The flavour is light, but pleasant with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, a bit of coffee and a roasted bitterness that lasts quite long in the finish. 2352

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Jul 8, 2004 Poured a medium copper/brown (lighter than I would expect from a porter - you could see through it) with a smaller tan head. Malty chocolate aroma. Really didn’t taste like too much. Light chocolate with a very light bitterness. Body was weak. I was not impressed at all with this beer.
