colts9016 (198), Idaho, USA Dec 16, 2007 The color is deep, deep brown almost black with a thick tan head. Aromas of toasted malt, nuts, barley, coffee, chocolate and molasses. The taste is toasted malt, chocolate, coffee, slate, earth, barley, hops, and a smooth sutle chocolate coffee finish. this a good and very well made beer that is easy to drink. truebluehes (104), Tipton, Iowa, USA Dec 15, 2007 Bottle. Black beer with a nice small beige head. Aroma is smoked malt. Flavor is quite smokey through and a nice dry finish. Pleasant bitterness. reddragon (28), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA Dec 14, 2007 Updated: Dec 15, 2007The very best porter in the world. Nice pour, with creamy head. Smoky, almost Rauchbier-like odor, and a very robust flavor to boot. What you would expect from this highly-respectable brewery. buzz9 (15), Nashua, New Hampshire, USA Dec 14, 2007 poured just about a whole big bottle into a samuel smith’s glass - pours black with a nice thick coffee icecream colored head - head fades quickly. Smells and tastes amazing taste - sweet notes at the end CaptBier (301), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Dec 14, 2007 Bottle. Pours black with think brown head. Nice aroma of roasted malts. Tastes about the same with some chocolate. A little harsh of a finish. Not bad. EKGoldings (447), Radford, Virginia, USA Dec 10, 2007 ours dark black, aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, candy. Nicely balanced though I do prefer slightly drier, this one has enough dark malt to balance. ketchepillar (476), Viña del Mar, Chile Dec 10, 2007 Some banana & nuttiness in the aroma. Some nuttiness in the flavor as well. Full bodied, but a little too sticky in the mouth. Definitely a porter yet for some reason it sets itself apart from most other porters. grikmok (92), Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA Dec 9, 2007 pours to a nice thick off white head. the aroma is strong with hints of roasted malts. flavor is sweet and malty. short aftertaste of roasted chocolate. enjoyable beer.
