llcooldave (180), San Antonio, Texas, USA Jun 21, 2008 Wow... this looks like a black hole, no light can escape. Nice roasted malt aroma. Flavor is a nice coffee and burnt toast component. There’s also a slight creamy note that’s present. So far i’m impressed, a really complex brew.
rocbyter (669), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Oct 8, 2008 Moderate spicy malt with a hint of medicine. Dark brown with a small short lasting brown head. Sweet malt beginning developing a brown suger flavor in the middle. The finish is slightly bitter. robinvboyer (1054), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Oct 7, 2008 nice subtle sweet roasted malt aroma, with a touch of hops. Flavor is obviously chocolaty, with a touch of smoke, and some nice coffee, and roasty malt flavors. A nice porter, not too think, not too thick, just right, and very easy drinking. solid. french tickler (505), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada Oct 5, 2008 Dark black poor with reddish hues, frothy light brown head. Aromas of burnt caramel, toast, white chocolate, hint of vanilla...Medium body, lactose feel, good effervescence, strong bitterness, chalky finish, slightly salty... Flavors of coffee, toas, liquid smoke TheGrandMaster (1492), Auckland, New Zealand Oct 5, 2008 Bottle (in NZ) courtesy of yalnikim, pours black with a large pillowy beige head. Strong roasted malt aroma, a hint of chocolate. The palate is a bit minerally, the finish is long, with the chocolate building more and more. Got better as it warmed.

Odeur de chocolat, un peu de café, alcohol et un peu de sucre. Gout de blé, cerise et un semblant de vin rouge.
