harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA Apr 5, 2006 This is a nice black porter, big and bold, very rich with lots of chocolate, roasted coffee maltiness and hints of cherries and citrus, perhaps a little to hoppy, but mellows out as it warms. Not bad mj (4975), Colorado, USA Apr 12, 2005 Looks like an IPA or an amber ale, it’s so light... has a color of rusty toast. Head has trouble standing up for long. Scotch and toffee nose, with some grainy coffee flavors over a fizzy and thin palate, reminds me of soda. jeffc666 (1886), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Jul 26, 2004 Brown-red body toppped by a tan head. Not that dark. Roasted malt with some light hops in the aroma. The flavor is nice and well-balanced. Roasted malt ands and some dark fruits along with some citrus hops. Pretty big for a porter. Medium bodied with a dry roasted malt finish. argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Jul 26, 2004 Clear red-brown body with beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, roasty, chococoffee. Taste is medium sweet, roasty, coffee, some chocolate, light cherry. Taste is medium-full, more evocative of a stout -- guess that makes this a robust porter.
