From the get go... a class act! Dark brown with garnet tones and a nice tan head which stays and clings to the sides Aroma: A balancing act of restraint and intensity, dark fruits some dry cocoa and a little wine like Taste: Starts with a dark roast, some tang, dark figs, some charcoal, a little chocolate and a little nuts.. molasses and a little brown-sugar a veritable cacaphony of dark malt flavors... somehow dancing in unison. all these are balanced by the right amount of hop flavor. The mouth feel is silky and finishes with a lingering dark roast malt without any acridity Overall: An excellent porter for an English Porter, this is one the classics the other (my favorite - Fullers London Porter)... Not to wax poetic, when fall weather peeks with some clouds and a little cool down... nothing like a lovely porter.

(Bottled) Very dark cola brown with a small, but reasonably lasting head head. Mild, licorice-malty aroma with a oatmeal-milky feel. Sour-milky, roasted-malty flavor with sour-salty licorice hints. Medium-bodied, medium-carbonated palate. Either this is a bad bottle, or not my kind of porter. Sourish and surprisingly thin.

Bottle. Pour is a darkish brown with a two finger head. Aromas are of brown sugar and nuts with a little bit of a port-like air to them. Flavor reminds me of roasted nuts, dark fruit and brown sugar. It came off as a little thin and sugary for my tastes.

Beautiful strong aroma. Pours heavy and dark with a large head that dissipates somewhat, but remains. Lots and lots of strongly roasted malt. Quite full and complex in the mouth. Quite a dense porter, not at all watery. Pleasant dry aftertaste without being over-hopped. Tasty and powerful with superb balance.

Pours quite dark with a thick head. A lttle too roasted for me when I think of porter but not too bad.

Pours black with large frothy tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, coffee, and smoked malt. Very pronounced- could smell it from 3 feet away as soon as I opened the bottle. Flavours of dark chocolate, smokey mat, and plum with smooth filling mouthfeel. A little sweet for my taste- not too much hop definition.

Zurich, 07. Pours dark brown with light beige head. Has some lightly roasted favours with full body. Not my favourite Samuel Smith’s product, but a great beer.

Pours a very dark color with a thick tan head. Went down smooth, with just a little bitter taste for the finish.
