OD40oz (600), Box Elder, South Dakota, USA May 17, 2009 I was pretty amped to try this one. Pours a deep brown with a off white head. Caramel coffee aroma with some lacing. This had more of a belgian taste than I was expecting. Not bad though it was not as good as I expected it would be. CanIHave4Beers (835), Des Moines, Iowa, USA May 15, 2009 Pours a nice deep reddish brown, almost a chocolate like color with a nice billowy head and some good lace. The aroma is akin to a creamy milk chocolate and a little coffee. The flavor is many things, and most of them work together. The porter is fairly robust with plenty of roasty coffee flavors and some odd fruity, cherry like, and vinious flavors. There is a bit of cardboard too but it might just be a mistreated bottle. Overall it’s a fairly dry porter with a pretty low hoppiness, enjoyable if not terribly exciting. livelaughlovep (96), Lakewood, Ohio, USA May 14, 2009 Burnt coffee and caramel malt, toasted coffee and a hint of sour tang throughout. Not bad. Geiserich (1775), Vienna, Austria May 11, 2009 Bottle: Aroma with roasted malt and dark fruits. Dark brown color, off-white foamy head. Flavor is light caramelic, roasty with hints of coffee and burnt coffee beans. Light astringent, sourly finish and bitterness of roasted malt and dark chocolate. cmillward (419), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark burgundy, fairly clear, fuzzy craggy head with lots of lacing. Chocolate, fruit, some caramel, honey and a touch of funk. Flavor is a little more mild, chocolate and caramel malt and fruit, some bitterness. Thin and dry, not your typical porter. punkeedo (465), San Antonio, Texas, USA Apr 11, 2009 2009 Bottle. The smoothest porter I’ve ever had. Overall, not the most complex porter, but very very nice. Aroma increases as the beer warms, reminiscent of molasses and malts. Looks dark, dark brown with very little head. Very smooth mouthfeel with a clean finish. Flavor of coffee and cocoa with very little hops. Excellent beer. Yeggo (37), USA Apr 1, 2009 caramel, chocolate, resin, black, clear, aminimal head, medium sweetness, very bitter, medium sourness, light body, thin feel, flat, bitter, long finish, lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Mar 26, 2009 Dark brown pour with a light tan head, big roasty aroma, hints of dark fruit and chocolate. Taste is syrupy, heavy roast, plums, maple syrup, brown sugar, caramel and chocolate.
