PWalk (332), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 20, 2004 SA Holiday pk 2004: Very nice porter. You can certainly taste the Fuggles in this one. Very enjoyable with a smooth palate and nice lacing on the glass.
bsm80 (99), Massapequa, New York, USA Sep 7, 2008 Holiday sampler; into the pint glass went the very dark brown made it really feel like Christmas, hits the nose with wonderful complexity, sweet burnt caramel flavor, smooth, warmed me right up, great porter Beerman6686 (724), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 3, 2008 Poured a really dark brown color with an off white head. Aroma was pretty weak but was mainly of chocolate and roasted malts. Flavor was also pretty wayerty. Nothing stands out, but nothing bad here. ok - sub par porter. Imaena (244), Portland, Maine, USA Aug 29, 2008 Updated: Sep 1, 2008Bottle 12oz 08’. Pours black and has a nice roasty smell. Flavor balance lacks complexity and the body is lighter than I would like. Decent brew. NomDeBeer (150), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Aug 11, 2008 Thinner and more watery than I expected but it’s still pretty good. Sweet malt flavors of mocha and caramel. Very drinkable. timsilvia32 (206), born in Michigan, North Carolina, USA Aug 4, 2008 Poured black, brown head. Rich malt and mocha aroma. Tasted of the same, roasted malts cocoa, a nice amount of carbonation. Could be a little heavier bodied, but good for a large brewer. My favorite of the Sam’s specials.
