LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head.. Aroma of sweet malt, a touch oxidized, some roasted malt notes. Flavor of roasted, smoky malts. Definite oxidation...probably an old bottle, but I don’t really know. Meh.
5/4/6/3/11 [2.9/5] BeerGestapo (725), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 6, 2009 Brewed in the USA... Courtesy of Woody, thanks !! Pours almost black in color with a small off white head. Aroma of dark malts, caramel and smoke. Taste is of chocolate, malts, smoke and earth. Mouthfeel is medium in body, kind of chalky with malty finish. Not bad, very easy to drink. Jblauvs (530), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jul 19, 2009 dark brown pour with a full creamy head. Kind of thin aroma, some sweet chocolate and malt. Flavor is better with some decent bitter roast, smoke galore and bitter chocolate. A little thin mouthfeel. Not overly impressive, but not terrible, i like the smokiness. jake65 (1657), Williston, North Dakota, USA Jul 10, 2009 Bottle - thanks mcox90. Dark brown pour with a finger of creamy beige head. Light aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor is sweet and chocolatey with light hints of molasses and a mild roast. A bit overly sweet, but still interesting.
shadey (1496), Rochester, New York, USA Jun 14, 2009 22oz bottle. Pour is a very dark brown. Head is a creamy ring around around the glass. Aroma is deep and rich. Smokey. Nice chewy body with sweet and smokey very mild roast. Gethinbeer (993), Nova Scotia, Canada Jun 6, 2009 From bottle. Sour chocolate aroma. Thin white head. Deep ruby colour. Thin texture and weak in flavour. Was expected something more full bodied. Slight flavour of roasted malt and chocolate. joebudzjoe (222), Connecticut, USA Jun 4, 2009 Draft @ Monster B’s. A light bodied porter gives this a marshmellowy lightness. I can taste the crispness of the hop with light nutmeg tones. Good porter. Rastacouere (5551), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jun 1, 2009 Clear average brown pour that mostly neglects head production. Powdery, softly earthy, rather stale nose. Stays linear all along, hinting at soya, chocolate and cola along the way, but never really focusing, never developing a fruitiness. Tiny bubbled carbonation mostly happens in the background as no clear bubble is felt, but the tongue is tickled at first, but quickly bitten. Light-bodied, watery texture. I usually dig Pennichuck more than that. This felt very ordinary and just too sweet for a lower gravity beer that I’d prefer drinking in big gulps.
