| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 1, 2010 This is a solid porter. Nice interplay between chocolate and coffee and some roasted notes. I don’t taste any smokiness which is good for me. Easy to drink. Nice brown color with a bit of a tan head. Taverner (892), San Ramon, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 29, 2009 Kind of weak in the palate. Pours a brown with tan head. Notes of roast and chocolate, but kind of cardboard tasting. Not horrible, but just not that full flavored. Still, nice balance of sweet and roast. thirdeye11 (564), Texas, USA
