Rich toffee and malt smell. Poured an almost completely opaque dark brown color with a eggshell colored head. The taste is a slightly bitter chocolatey toffee taste. Nice medium body that is very smooth.

DeliriumT (134) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - MAY 18, 2012
Pours black with pale brown head. The aroma is sensational roasted coffee and sickly sweet dark chocolate. The taste falls just short of the aroma but all round very enjoyable

seritomi (195) - HUNGARY - MAY 16, 2012
Áttetsző, híg sötétbarna. Habja bézs és összetett, változó méretű buborékok alkotják. Illata édes, mézes karamell valamint fűszeres komló. Íze laza, vékony édeskés, harsány hamus/földes keretben selymesen csúszik. Jó az ital de semmi kiemelkedő. Várom a stuotot.

Caytinator (97) - Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - MAY 14, 2012
12oz bottle. Light malty aroma, rocky big head. Average carbonation, great medium taste with a little bit of hops to balance this monster malt. It’s Sierra through and through, the hops give it away! I like this style, but I love Sierra’s take on it. Really enjoyed this one, boys.

jeffs515 (30) - Ogden, Utah, USA - MAY 11, 2012
Pours a really dark amber color with some really nice soapy/creamy tan foam that last the entire time. Has a decent sticky lacing. Good aroma I get some roasted malt with a sweet coffee scent. Very good tasting can taste the malt and some sorrow sweet coffee and a little bit of bitterness that sits on the tounge at the end. Very nice porter and overall I would drink again.

Cakes (243) - New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 10, 2012
12 oz bottle. A strong aroma, smoky with malty and molasses components. Pours a dark, somewhat hazy mahogany with a fairly thick, fine-bubbled, pale tan head that leaves some good lacing. Mouth-filling aroma has tones of burnt wood, hops, molasses, coffee and unsweet chocolate. Texture is fairly smooth and fizzy, leaving a smoky and somewhat hoppy finish that sticks around for a little bit. Nothing really distinct here and it has that chicory thing going on.

cards04 (295) - Steinbach, Manitoba, CANADA - MAY 6, 2012
Pours black with some tan head. Smells like roasted malts and some coffee. A bit of molasses too. Roasty flavors and a touch of sweetness. Only average for me.
