Dark syruppy in appearence, some a similiar mouthfeel. Decent porter flavor, with some interesting things going on. Not bad at all. matta (1138), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 20, 2007 Thanks to some friendly RateBeerian out there for sending me the brew!
Pours a charred black body and a wispy light khaki head. The aroma has an un-suspected hint of tartness, coffee and bakers chocolate. The flavor holds no tartness, just a super dry coffee bitterness; again, the thought of baker’s chocolate is strong and holds long into the finish. The palate is medium, maybe a bit thin. I believe I enjoy the flavor more than the aroma, some raisin and fig creep into the finish… a respectable porter, indeed! rocbyter (912), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 19, 2007 Coffee and yeast aroma. Yeast is less evident. Dark amber color. Foam is suprisingly light for a porter. Flavor is mellow. Not tasting much more than some dark malts. Very small amount of bitterness in the finish. Slightly creamy mouth feel.
