I know that I should like this beer more, but I just can’t get into it. It has that funny burnt taste, and even though I was expecting it, it hit me as slightly unpleasent. Still worth a try.

Merc (313) - Pullman, Washington, USA - APR 29, 2002

I was very pleased with this beer. Not a great porter, but nice and solid. A bit faint on the aroma. Nice roated malts, good smokey bite too it. Wonderful lingering bitterness. Good degree of carbonation.

Gregory (357) - Pullman, Washington, USA - APR 28, 2002

nothing fancy about this one. It’s got some nice flavors, starts sweet with some caramel, then roasted malt flavor, with some bitterness at the finish. Decent beer, nothing outstanding about it.

Schroppfy (2353) - Łódż, Warsaw, Poland; Michigan, Ohio, USA - APR 28, 2002

Superb for the style, especially the mouthfeel. Thin? Hefty cabonation? Yeah, perfectly so. A bit hoppy, perhaps, yes, but still more than within balance.

Pretty standard porter. Malty and can definitely taste hops too. Good head and body.

Aggie80 (766) - Michigan, USA - APR 21, 2002

A very dissappointing brew. Too much hoppiness for a porter. Color and head were okay. Both this and the Stout have too much aftertaste, one that lingers a long time on the palate.

I was actually disappointed with this one. It was a little too light and watery. It also had a sharpness that reminded me more of lighter beers.

AceOfHearts (1375) - San Francisco, California, USA - MAR 30, 2002

Nice color, creamy head. I didn’t find the flavor all that rich, and it somewhat lacks originality. Standard roasted barley, medium-bodied, etc. I enjoyed their Stout much more.
