Bottle. Somewhat bitter aroma. Pours dark with a hint of red; cream head. A little bitter but leaves a smooth aftertaste

[1734-20080928] Bottle. Roast malt, mild coffee and mild fig fruit aroma. Black brown body with a medium-lasting creamy tan head. Sweet roasted malt flavour has some coffee and banana split chocolate. Full body. Nice porter.

Goes down smoother than most porters but does not skimp on the aftertaste- a malt flavor that will stay with you long after your sip is done. Unfortunately far from complex, not fruit flavors or spices are noticeable, and it leaves a chalky aftertaste.

Moderate whiskey malt aroma. Opaque brown color with a medium tan head. Malt taste beginning with a sweet pine finish. Sticky palate.

Bottle that has been in my parents fridge for a while. A beer my brother always used to love and now that I found it in there, its time to rate it, since I was too lazy today to buy some new beer. Pours black with a big 3 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and malty with a nice light hint of coffee on the edge of the nose. Taste is sweet rich malty with some hopped bitterness. Overall a pretty good porter, a bit too much of something I cant quite put my fingers on.

This Beer poured with a thick tan head which dissipated fairly quickly. APPEARANCE The color is very dark almost black with just a tad of ruby showing through on the edges. AROMA Aroma showed me a raisiny-cocoa and some reminance of black licorice. No notice of hops were apparent. FLAVOR Medium carbonation tartness upfront followed by chocolate and raisins. Bitterness and dark chocolate lingering in the aftertaste. Hops flavor really had to be searched for nearly undetectable. PALATE Mouthfeel was creamy and medium-full. It allowed the flavors to hang on the tongue for a good while. Overall this is a great beer. Nice complex malt flavors.

500 mL. Pours a very dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of tobacco leaves, cocoa, roasted malt, dark chocolate. Medium bodied with lots of molasses and licorice flavors showing through the coffee and dark chocolate. Slight oily mouthfeel. Nice bitter long finish.

Crushed with Jakebra. Dark chocolatey, coffee latte kinda aroma. Some roasty tobacco notes too. Flavor is pretty sweet for a porter, but maybe Ive just been drinking the wrong shit. Pretty excellent.
