Aroma is nutty malts with an off edge to them. The flavor is nutty malts and a hint of fruit in the finish.

Lots of sugar taste. Very dark brown color, no head. Great mellow porter, no hop notes. The label had no bar code and said 1996, not sure the date was correct.

Wonderful toasty flavor with nut characteristics. Would expect to have a heavy aftertaste but does not. Would pair well with a sweet desert such as gingerbread cookies.

Nothing redeemable here. Watery, sour excuse for a porter. No flavor you would find in a traditional porter (roast, coffee, chocolate). I drank half of it and poured the rest out.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle from the 1967 Packers. Thanks Pack, thanks!
Pours an average root beer brown with a lively body and thin cream head. Aroma is raisin-wine malt, sweet vinegar, watery molasses, and earthy nuts. Flavor is light, watery nuts and caramel swirled and then roasted over artificial flame. Tingly on the tongue. Forgettable.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Very dark brown with almost no head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Taste is pretty one dimensional: roasted malt. A little harsh, and a tad thin for the style. Not impressive.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Almost black color. Thin off-white head. Dark roasted malt aroma and flavor. heavy bite for a porter. Nice hoppage. Smooth texture. Sweet sugary finish like a milk stout but with brown instead of white sugar.
