SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA Nov 16, 2006 pours a oily black oil slick appearance..has slight tan head ring, aroma of slight brown sugar and some espresso, has a subtle dark coffee mouth coating, this is a tasty SlicK brew. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Nov 12, 2006 Funky medicine bottle. Pours black with a small tan head. Smells of sweat and light hops with minimal malt. Taste is watery and plain with some earthy hops present. Overall a very boring beer. thornecb (1735), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Nov 8, 2006 Pours deep mahogany into a stem glass. Mocha head quickly subsides to skim rim and hug sides. Burnt chocolate and espresso aromas. Creamy with a medium body. Upfront sweet chocolate and a lasting bitter coffee finish. eboats (887), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Nov 6, 2006 Dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is chocolate some roasted notes, some toasted bread, and weak coffee. Flavor is sweet malts, chocolate, plum, sweet coffee. Decent body with a medium silky mouthfeel. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 1, 2006 Bottle sampled at my house thanks to The mad Indian. Pours dark with an off-white head. Aroma of coffee and roast. The flavor is coffee, roast, slight chocolate. Great beer. ajolly2 (123), USA Oct 29, 2006 Poured a mahogany color with off-white head. Scents of chocolate and coffee. To me, it looks better in this old-style bottle than in a glass. I prefer Original Flag Porter and Road Dog Scottish Porter only because I expected more from this beer. drainey (231), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 26, 2006 Bottle. Pours with a dark brown, relatively thin body, and a small brown-white head. Nose is faintly molassessy. A very nice toasted malt flavor with just a hint of molasses sweetness. Palate is thin, but not disappointingly so. A very nice beer. SGTHibbert (100), Perry, Iowa, USA Oct 24, 2006 1 pint 0.9 oz bottle with very interesting shape and color. Antique looking. Very good porter. I was very surprised. Not to bitter at all. Nice strong coffee, and dark chocolate flavor. Scents of molasses. Very good. Buy this if you are a fan of porters.
