Clear, dark dark red brown body with long-lasting off-white bubbles. Roasted malt flavour has a bit of a sweet background. Full body is smooth. Not bad. demitriustown (693), Shelby Township, Michigan, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 31, 2007 1 pint 0.9 fl oz. Aroma is some what of a roasted malt aroma, grainy, a light chocolate note and a small amount of caramel. Pours a almost opaque black with a large tan head. Taste is got a decent roasty flavor, a bit of caramel, and an really off tasting to this brew. A bit of a creamy aftertaste decent. Overall, It’s pretty decent I like it.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 31, 2007 Ok porter. Nice looking head but over all the mouithfeel was a tad bit seltzer like. Little bit of roasted malt, and a little sour. zeke626 (302), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 29, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep brown body with reddish hues and a bubbly, light brown head. Aroma is primarily caramel/cocoa malts. Smooth, creamy body with slight chocolate flavors, a little fizzy abd effervescent on the palate. Body and mouthfeel seem a bit on the light side. The finish is a bit sour with a coffee aftertaste. UselessGdTaste (363), Long Beach, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 28, 2007 Overall, very surprising. Rather effervescent for a porter. The smell suggested it would be very heavy, however the palate was very light and the beer was not overpowering at all. I was impressed at this differential. berkshirejohn (1797), Bracknell, Berkshire, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 26, 2007 500ml bottle from Majestic. Deep chestnut brown; rich caramel malt aroma; smooth smokey roasted malt flavour; dry coffee finish. Rather one-dimensional. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 26, 2007 500ml bottle. Mid-brown with little head. Caramel aroma. Good flavour of smoky roasted malt but a poor finish and the mouthfeel is a little lacking. Certainly different from the darker porters that dominate the top of the rankings and worth checking out for that reason, but it won’t become a regular tipple for me.
