May 1, 2008 500ml bottle in pint glass. Near black with lasting light brown head and lace. Tart fishy chocolate aroma. Tart roasted chocolate soy sauce flavor with raisins grapes, red wine, and mild hop bitterness. Medium-light body and medium-low carbo. Nice mouthfeel. Something about the tang of this puts me off. The only SS beer I don’t like.

Apr 29, 2008 Updated: Jul 4, 2008A little too much for me. Too much darkness in the taste. Dank and stagnant darkness. That Sam Smith sour. Ehhh

Apr 29, 2008 Absolutely black with a tan 2" head. Tan lacings.
Aroma is roasted malts.
Taste is dark molasses. Slight bitter finish. Not a bad porter. Wonder what it would taste like without the cane sugar?
If you like sweet roasted malts with a touch of sweetness here you go.
From the bottle.

Apr 27, 2008 (Bottle) Pours thick with a persistent tan head that stays throughout. Aroma of roasted malts dominates. Beautiful molasses-black color with hints of a deep auburn around the sides & bottom. Heavy roasted flavor that stays around to compliment the subtle sweetness at the end. A little too thin, I like the hearty mouthfeel of the Fuller’s London a lot better, but a great beer that starts magnificently and finishes just as well.

Apr 21, 2008 A damn good porter, coming from a guy who isn’t a big porter fan. It’s flavorful, smooth, and drinkable. Highly recommended, a fine example of the brew type.

Apr 21, 2008 Aroma is very roasty, and a little sweet. The appearance is a dark black, with a lingering foam head. The flavor is sweet, malty, with some roastiness. There’s a strong roasty quality on the finish. Relatively thick mouthfeel. A fine representation of its type. An excellent porter.

Apr 21, 2008 Bottle. Really good porter. Strong malt taste that is associated with Porters. Nice dark color. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate and slightly of burnt toast. Recommend it.

Apr 18, 2008 Pours black opaque with a brown hue, wood brown head with disappointing lacing. Aroma of dark malts and dried fruit (raisin,prune). Surprisingly light bodied, sweet, smoky, coffee. Pretty good porter but could be better.
