2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 sulawang (151) - British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 22, 2011
pours ultra dark brown, thick decent head, small and micro CO2, thick sticky lacing, barely detectable CO2 streams due to the darkness. A bit of malt on the nose, nothing else otherwise. Rush of bittersweet chocolate and a slight coffee edge up front, very minor coffee sourness in the mid, deep medium bitter long lingering finish. Low-medium complexity, medium-high depth, long length, but a rather short carry, medium-bodied with slightly watery viscosity. Overall pretty good going down, but rather one-note and not enough to come back for more.

Bottled. Pours deep brown with an average sized. beige, creamy head. Nose of roasted malts, strong coffee, locorice and vanilla notes. Moderate sweet flavor with chocolate,coffee and licorice. Medium to full bodied, creamy to oily texture and flat carbonation. Quite a bitter finish .A nice one!

In bottiglia al 4:20 di Roma. Colore marrone scuro quasi nero, schiuma beige, cremosa. Al naso caffè, vaniglia, malti tostati. Al palato tostato, caffè, vaniglia e cacao, finale più dolce di quanto mi aspettassi. Ottima!

4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Danny1217 (77) - Miami, Florida, USA - DEC 8, 2011
As expected, rich, roasted, bitter chocolate and coffee flavors are very dominant. The creamy mouthfeel balances it out, and creates one good porter.

Pours a very dark brown with a nice creamy head. Nice coffee aroma, tasting reveals the chocolate flavour, not too bitter. Another great porter.
