3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAR 1, 2003 I've never had a carmel porter before, and i did not know what i was missing. This was exceptionalally boring. It goes great with some french vanilla icecream though. Descent flavor, while not weakening the overall body. A little watered down if ya ask me. Could use some more additional malts.

Felt like I was drinking a 3 musketeers bar. Although good on the proper occasion

Nice caramel flavor, but not very complex. Would be nice if offset with some roasted malt flavor.

I like caramel and i love porter, so i though as i opened the bottle why not combine the two. Well now i know, though a brave and noble attempt i felt as though the caramel overpowered all other flavors in teh beer, such as roasted nuttiness detecable only slightly in the finish. Some added depth flavorwise would go a long way.

If you want a sweet beer with only a hint of bitterness this is the one. It’s full of caramel from the first scent to the aftertaste. This beer is like dessert.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2006 If you like eating Caramellos all the time, you will never drink another beer. If you are sane, you will think there is too much caramel and that you could deal with less caramel in your porters. It needs to be balanced out with something, like chocolate or coffee, hmmmmm....chocolate coffee beer...with caramel.

On the red side of black, average off white head. Sweet caramelly nose. Taste is unique, palate is full of caramel, some roasty notes and a sharp somewhat sticky finish that stays with you, the tastes are too unbalanced. needs some work.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
The aroma tells you right away the caramel is there. Very interesting flavor. Has the flavor notes of Bass or Fuller’s London Pride, but with a more pronounced finish. Not much of a head. Mouthfeel is somewhat hard. Has a touch of hop sharpness to smooth out the potential of cloyingness. A tasty little beer for only $3.85 a six.
