3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 Nate (3326) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 26, 2002
A deep red-brown color, low head retention with moderate carbonation. Lightly hopped and slightly bitter - great caramel aroma but little caramel taste. Decent taste with slightly bitter aftertaste.

This tastes like someone took a bad beer and melted a few caramels in it. How can they justify calling this porter? Very disappointing.

Too much caramel, not enough porter. Other than that, pretty good. Very very sweet.

Very sweet - the caramel, as the name infers, really jumps out at you. It’s almost too much and seems a little unbalanced, but still it’s a pretty good beer.

This is an awesome Caramel porter. The caramel is very present in the taste and the aroma. I love this beer.

this one is thin for a porter, but a pretty auburn brown with a thin beige top. not a great deal to add to previous ratings since this is a beer that’s either going to gaffe or ingratiate based on your feelings for added caramel. tho my eyes narrow in huge skepticism to any casting down and dancing upon the reinheitsgebot, caramel seems an innoucuous adjunct and they’ve used it with reasonable restraint. i like it, but it’s a one trick pony.
