Jan 25, 2007 THOUGHTS: This is how a dark beer should look and smell. Great beer. Still surprised at how great the Samuel Smiths are, even though they ar in clear bottles. This was exactly what I think of when I think of a porter.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark brown-black with red when held up to the light. There was a large tan head that was mostly diminishing and left virtually no head. The aroma was moderate roasted and chocolate malt along with some toffee. The initial flavor was moderate sweetness and light bitterness and the finish flavor was light sweetness and moderate bitterness. with an average duration. The body ws medium and felt dry up front and oildy in back with fizzy carbonation.

Nov 1, 2007 Smells of roasted barley and chocolate. Pours deep brown with red highlights. Brilliant tan head. Full flavor, roasted tones, coffee, chocolate, sweet caramel finish. Runs through the mouth like candy. Overall highly complex and spot on. My favorite porter.

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.

Jun 27, 2008 I really, really like this porter. I think Samuel Smith is an excellent brewery in general but this Porter is really a tasty treat.

Mar 9, 2009 Fruity nose, sweet but not cloying flavor. Smell and taste remind me a bit of Chimay. Medium mouthfeel. Delicious.

Sep 3, 2009 The strong aroma of a dark porter with its malty, roasty character hits your nose before you even put it to the glass. It is amazing, perfect on a chilly fall night. The color is dark like oil with a small head.It has a pure flavor, roasted character like in the aroma.

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
