Dark chocolate brown body with a modest bright brown head on top. Aroma is sweet barley with indeed chocolate, and some coffee notes, though the intensity could be kicked up a notch. Flavour is strong chocolate with a faint hint of hoppy coffee bitterness on the back end. Medium finish, making it refreshing. A solid offering in this category.

Pours a dark brown with tan head. Smells like chocolate syrup and toasted cocoa nibs. Some vanilla too. Thin and Carbonated... not exactly how I like my porters. Dark chocolate flavours. Not bad.

Bottle shared with northropfrye. Aroma of vanilla and chocolate. Frothy creamy head with brown-black body. Chocolate and vanilla taste without being very sweet. Nice.

Dark brown body with brown head, not much lacing, head does not last long. Aroma of brownie dough, sweet yeast, cocoa powder. Taste is nice and sweet, a touch of dark chocolate bitterness. Quite nice overall.

Heavy vanilla nose. The dark chocolate gives off some aroma, but vanilla is unbalanced. Pours cloudy dark with pretty good head and lacing. Average carbonation for style. Finishes bitter vanilla. Ok package, just a little average overall. On tap at the Beagle Pub.

Dark ebony with slight head. Lacing left behind. Medium Carbonation. Malty sweetness of chocolate and molasses with hints of vanilla when inhaled. Sweet on the tongue with a bitter lingering. Smoky coffee aftertaste. Smooth on the palate, leaving an effervescent tingle. An easy drinking flavoured porter.

Solid dark brown with a decent creamy tan head. Aroma is chocolate syrup, hazelnut, vanilla. Creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied, sweet on the palate with a nutty finish. Taste is chocolate, hazelnut, hint of toasted chestnuts.

Pours a deep black. Strong chocolate flavour, not very bitter and with a mild sweetness.
