thejon375 (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Apr 10, 2009 Pours a dark black almost opaque. Thick tan bubbly head. Aroma is a little weak but flavors of choc and roasted espresso. Finishes malty and dry. bluevegie (2169), Perth, Australia Apr 7, 2009 500ml. Bottle. Black body with a hard to pour head. All the characters are in there for a porter - chocolate, coffee and a little liquorice but just a little watery for my liking. nuplastikk (1159), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Feb 28, 2009 Cask at Birreria Paradiso in DC. Opaque choco black-brown color with a soapy non-head. Lacks any carbonation in the mouthfeel. Big, chocolate flavor. Thick, rich, and creamy. Very gentle on the palate. Excellent. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England Feb 26, 2009 Cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 12th February 2009. Dark espresso appearance. Fruity aroma but not too sweet. Smooth, rather watery though. Nice flavours but they could be more pronounced. rbrazell (57), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Feb 19, 2009 Pours dark amber, almost brown with off white creamy head. Nose of cream and chocolate. Thin in the mouth, dry finish. fredandboboflo (1395), East Setauket, New York, USA Feb 19, 2009 Cask at Ginger Man. Aroma of cacao nibs, roasted/toasted malt, salty cashews. Flavor of milky raisins, red grapes, mildly acidic, some earthy hops. Thinnish mouthfeel. Interesting, but not terribly stellar. LooseCannon (914), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Feb 9, 2009 16.9oz bottle. Pours dark brown in color with thin brown head. Aroma chocolate, roasted malt and fruity.
