Feb 8, 2004 Very dark brown with a big tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and possibly some wine. Flavor of coffee and some chocolate. A little over carbonated and thin. Has a long dry finish.

Feb 5, 2004 Chocolatey, toffee aroma. Extra-large head, foam that does not dissipate easily! Very dark ruby-brown colored. Dry, roasty, chocolatey malts dominate the flavor, with a nice burnt/hoppy, sharp, dry finish.

Feb 2, 2004 Bottle from The Offie, Leicester. Rather subtle aroma, with a medium lasting frothy, beige head, which leaves chunky lacing. Gentle introduction - smooth, then a crusty, bitter ending. Thinnish crispy mouthfeel. This has alight feel to it, but is tasty with enough interest throughout the gulp, and a nice lingering dryness.

Jan 13, 2004 A very nice porter. This is what I think of when I think of a porter. Very British tasting. A bit overpriced at 5 bucks a bottle though.

Jan 11, 2004 Updated: Jan 12, 2004A nice black appearance. Aroma is chocolate and some alcohol. Flavor is smokey with a bitter coffee and dark chocolate taste. I generally find porters to be one dimensional. But this has a little more character even for an old slug!

Dec 2, 2003 Updated: Jan 28, 2004This stuff is like oil in the pour, somewhat thick and sludgy, with a surprisingly light mouthfeel. A lightly nutty taste, with some nice roaste malt qualities followed by a bit of chocolate coffee toffee flavors. Not a bad porter. Almost has some stout qualities, nice and roasted in the finish.
