Oct 22, 2009 550ml bottle. A black bodied beer with brown edging, a thick & lasting creamy beige head and a light lacing. Aromas of roasted malts, milk chocolate and raisins. Sweet, fruity & chocolatey flavours initially, with dark chocolate, coffee and roasted malt flavours coming through for bitterness. Great, medium body with low to medium carbonation and a dry body.

Oct 12, 2009 Light but bright roasty flavor. Aroma is minimal but the color and head is great to look at. A little carbonated which adds complexity in my opinion.

Oct 11, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Cola brown with ruby highlights. Large, creamy, tan head that has great retention.
Aroma: An off metallic note is the first thing I notice but thankfully it fades quickly. Roasted malt, mineral and earth in the nose.
Flavor: Definitely a roasty porter with notes of mineral, some dried fruit, and a hint of alcohol. Nice balance and structure.
Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a medium-rich mouthfeel and a medium, roasty finish.
Overall: A classic and great porter that is always worth a go.

Oct 7, 2009 Very dark brown to the point where it’s basically black to the naked eye. Not as dominated by a burnt, roasty taste as some porters and an aftertase of fruit is definitely noticable. Good beer though.

Oct 6, 2009 (bottle) Dark brown colour with a massive brown foamy head. Mildly sweet roast-malty aroma with notes of chocolate, coffee and a whiff of smoke in the background. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Roasty malt-character with notes of chocolate, caramel and traces of mocha; medium-dry sweet and bitter roasty, also minimal vinous and subtle fruity finish, which lasts for a while. Very pleasant. 06.X.09
