Apr 8, 2008 I can’t say that this is my favorite beer. It was very textbook with light bits of coffee and roasted malts with a dark pour with a tan head. Bitterness is present, but not easy to detect. However, I can’t say too much bad about something that represents its stile so well.

Apr 4, 2008 The British brewers always seem to have really cool bottles and this one is no exception. It pours dark brown with semi firm mocha head. It has a mild yet spot on aroma with rich roasty malts drifting into burnt malts. The taste is very similar to the nose starting with mild malt astringency before rich roasted malts, mild caramel and mild burnt malts build to midway. Into the finish chocolate malts are noticed as the burnt malts build to a tepid level and overtake the flavor.

Apr 1, 2008 Kind of a toasted nut aroma, possibly from the malt? Pours a deep brown color with a nice tan head. The toasted malt characters follow through in the flavor as well. Nice lingering mouth feel. Hint of chocolate, but has a really nice finish. Touch of hops, but not bitter at all. Good beer.

Mar 27, 2008 Fair amount of toasty, buttery maple/caramel porter goodness. Somewhat pronounced hoppy finish. A decent porter.

Mar 21, 2008 Bottle at The Rake in Southwark, London. Pours a dark brown-black with thin off-white head which dissipated almost immediately. This had a smell of smokiness . The taste was smoky as well with malt and some hop bitterness. Hint of coffee, but overwhelmed by smoke. This had a crisp mouthfeel and wasn’t bad, but not great.

Mar 21, 2008 From a round, olive green bottle. Pours dark brown/mahogany with a small off white head. Smell makes it seem sweeter than it will in fact be. This is a roasty porter with a bit of charcoal smokiness, but not too much. Quite dry, with some Belgian yeastiness too. Body is a bit too thin with more carbonation than I’d like. Still good; maybe not great value, though.

Mar 19, 2008 Nice porter with loads of notes of coffee. I like really. Almost no head and light and mild in its flavor. Biscuits, bread and not too wild.

Mar 19, 2008 Brown with ruby highlights, eh head. All of the things that you could expect a in porter just in lower levels. I expected more out of this.
