ryananderson (74), Ontario, Canada Nov 8, 2005 Updated: Nov 22, 2005Aroma is roasted, moderately malty, and lightly hoppy. Head is dense and creamy, mostly lasting and produces good lacing. The flavour is well balanced: medium roast with some sweetness. It actually tastes like a blend of two beers. The finish smooth, soft carbonation and medium to full bodied. Paskal (146), La Prairie, Quebec, Canada Oct 31, 2005 Bouteille-D’un brun très foncé, très gaziéfié, odeur malté de noix, un peu d’amertume, goût sec, de malte, de craie. Moyen--Bottle-Dark brown, very gazified, nut and malt odors, a bit sour, dry in the mouth, taste like chalk and malt. Average. JoeMcPhee (4911), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Oct 25, 2005 500 ml bottle. Deep brown colour, crystal clear with a thin tan head and sticky lace. Sweet nutty malt, a bit dusty along with some sweet milk chocolate. Flavour is similar, sweet nutty malts, light chocolate and a bit of herbal flavour. Moderate bitterness. Very easy to drink. Quality brew. bigrond (1043), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 22, 2005 this was as they say in ol’ Italy - itwas a no good!! poor example of a porter. no richness - no complexity. just blah and bland, aroma is nice but full of empty promises blank (998), Washington, Washington DC, USA Oct 12, 2005 really freaking cool bottle. Really nice dark porter. Dark heavy complex flavors. A little chalky but that didn’t deter that much. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 10, 2005 bottle. pours a deep dark brown with ruby tinges on the sides and a small/thin tan head. aroma is bitter chocolate and roast coffee, somewhat thin. it’s fairly bitter to start with caramel flavours and chocolate to finish. not bad, not great...middle of the road. tronraner (1906), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Oct 10, 2005 Bottle. Pours a very dark ruby with a thin light beige head. The aroma is raisins, caramel, and some sweet malt. This is oddly sweet, perhaps overly so. Burnt caramel, roasted barley, cola, sweet malt, and prunes come to mind. Not bad, but not worth the high price (in TN, at least, it costs a bloody fortune). Dick1984 (4), 29 Palms, California, USA does not count Oct 4, 2005 deep brown nice porter was very tasty at 5:03 am i agrre it does have a pretty nifty bottle.
