| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2008 Pours dark with a small foamy head, sort of a sweet smell. Tastes better than it smells with tastes of biscuit and toffee and hints of a smokey flavor. Light on the palate, thought a bit watery for my tastes as far as a porter goes. Not a bad beer.
