One of the ones from back in the dark ages. Dark brown black with ruby and mahogany highlights. Aroma of caramel and toffee, faint roast. Flavor is nutty, caramel, and chocolate. OK mouthfeel. Nice.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 9, 2007 Aroma is a rich sweet wine like scent. Color is a solid black with a thin some what tight head. Taste is sweet and roasted. Starting with full body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish comes out of the crispness with a thin sweet honey like flavor backed by a mild hop flavor and genteel bitterness. The after taste is sweet with a slight alcohol feel. Its not the best Porter I have ever had but its a tasty brew. mbgrayson (142), Anaconda, Montana, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 6, 2007 It poured a very dark brown almost black in color with a thin brown head that faded to a thin 1/8 inch. The beer had a nice aroma of licorice and a little alcohol. Strange for only a 5%. The taste was very mild and not very distinctive. I got a bit of a sour citrus finish with some subtle flavor of licorice. I wonder if I got a bad bottle. I’ll try another bottle to see for sure. pumpmaster (476), Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Nov 21, 2007 Updated: Jun 24, 2008bottle. pours dark brown with big tan head, leaves considerable lacing. light aroma of roasted malts (has that characteristic ss smell. tastes is coffee, brown sugar, molasses, mild/mod bitter. just a perfect balance of flavors. the sugars are not too sweet and the hops provide a nice bitter without being grassy or acidic. palate holds up through the end - creamy mouthfeel does not thin. carbonation is subtle and compliments the flavors nicely. a fantastic beer.
