With just a hint of honey when you smell it, this porter pours dark with not much of a head. Not being much of a porter fan, I was pleasing surprised with this ale. Good to the taste with no strong after taste. Can Sam Adams do no wrong?

Oct 7, 2008 Bought in 6 pack because I couldn’t find it anywhere else in a single. Pours dark but not so dark in the light. To bold of a porter to work with my expectations, faint honey, with burnt malts, hops add a nice finishing bite with mild bitterness. Not bad but only once in a while.

Oct 6, 2008 12 oz bottle from mix pack. Caramel with some roastyness and slight chocolate aroma. Clear deep amber brown with small fine white head. Roasted malt with some honey and caramel, and touch of chocolate. Subdued hop notes. Touch metallic. Medium light body with fairly dry chocolate finish and touch of hop bitterness.

Oct 5, 2008 12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Dark auburn with ruby hues. Thick tan head, 2 fingers tall, great retention and lots of creamy lacing. Aromas of chocolate, brown sugar, and honey burst forth, with only a little roastiness. Flavor is roasty throughout with honey undertones and a dry finish. Body is rather thin, and that’s the only real flaw here. Carbonation is good and drinkability is excellent. Almost a great porter.
