Aug 13, 2006 17-oz., courtesy BitBucket Jr. Cool-@ss bottle. Pours thick and viscous black body with some dingy head and a huge puff of chocolate, caramel, molasses, and even a little whiff of coffee. A stout hiding behind a porter body, I say--not as filling as a stout, nor as creamy or as thick, but it has that three threads London meal-in-itself quality afoot. Lovely, lovely stuff that I could buy and/or serve by the case. Really a triumph.

Aug 7, 2006 Bottle. Drank on 8/6/06. Purchased ages ago at Chevy Chase Wine and Liquor in Washington DC. The beer pours a deep dark color, not black but damn close. The scent is very malty and rich with hints of chocolate and coffee. This is a great rich deep proter, that is satifying and slightly sweet. I’m always up to try another beer from this satisfying brewery.

Aug 6, 2006 Bottled. Aroma light carmel and dark roast malts. Poured a deep dark brown. Flavor was of weak coffee and roast to burnt malts. Palate was good, thin and watery though. Overall I’d say not bad.

Aug 5, 2006 Assertive, caramelized porter with a roasted, bitter flavor and a heavy body and mouthfeel. Great flavor and beautiful dark red color in the glass. Nice porter.

Aug 5, 2006 Great old time bottle feels like your holding a flask. Dark reddish color small head. Not much of a Porter taste to me its very tame in between an Ale and a Porter. Not a bad ber I enjoyed it.

Aug 4, 2006 bottle split with Muenster. I have been avoiding this for quite some time at the behest of a buddy of mine, but the time has come to form my own opinion. I tried and thoroughly enjoyed their cream stout, so it made me slightly more optomistic regarding this brew. However, I believe this joins the list of brewers that make an awesome stout and a disappointing porter, or vice versa. The pour is thin from the get go, totally English in style. It’s red with the faintest sembelance of a head. The aroma is just of cheap instant coffee and powdered cream. Very light on the palate, soy sauce, stale coffee. This is acceptable for consumption at best, not memorable at all.
