yemenmocha (344), Glendale, Arizona, USA May 2, 2009 Huge beer compared to the rest of the lineup. Near opaque color, at least in the low lighting of the Brewer’s Den Pub. Both the nose and palate are dominated by a back ’n forth of chocolate and roasty flavors. Medium bodied and surprisingly drinkable, but keep in mind it is a cask ale. bhensonb (4189), Woodland, California, USA Mar 6, 2008 At Brewers Den - 02/07. Aroma of toasted malt, hint of chocolate. Nice blackish color w/reddish hilites; tan head that didn’t stick. Sweetish, body not too thick, lightly roasted malt, chocolate notes, mellow finish. Canadianlush (169), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA Nov 5, 2007 I can’t belive nobody has rated this one in 3 years. Not a bad Porter at all. True to form, it poured a dark black with a thin tan head. Aroma is chalked full of malt and almonds. Taste is balanced with hints of chocolate, nuts and perhaps a little coffee. Finish is deep and full. I’d order another... mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 29, 2004 Draught at the Sonora restaurant during happy hour...pints for only $2.50! Aroma is chocolate, roasted malt. pitch black with no head. rich bittersweet chocolate. robust body. a solid porter. boto (1319), Granby, Connecticut, USA Oct 9, 2004 Draught @ Sonora: This one pours an opaque, dark brown color. It has a bit of a light brown head to it. It didn’t last long and had minimal lacing. The aroma had a roasty sweetness to it. Roasty, slightly sweet chocolate taste with hints of coffee. Some bitterness in the finish. Not bad. adrenalin112 (57), west covina, California, USA May 20, 2003 Hmmm... nothing stands out on this one. It has all the characteristics to make it a porter, but none of them quite stand out. Finish is short & uneventful. argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Feb 24, 2003 (draft) Black body, minimal carbonation, minimal tan head. Aroma is roasty malty. Taste is malty, hint of chocolate, slightly roasty. Andrew196 (1091), Katy, Texas, USA Feb 18, 2003 Color of coca cola. Very strong, roasted coffee aroma. The rich smokey flavor rounded out the coffee and hops detected in the taste. Nice clean, slightly dry finish
