Pleasant sweet and sour aroma with chocolate and smoke. Flavour a bit thin but pleasant with chocolate, caramel and licorice; some sourness. Long bitter aftertaste. Very smooth and oily mouthfeel. Good but nothing special. TChrome (1299), Bedford, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 17, 2005 Very attractive appearing beer, pouring very dark brown with a nice thick, fully retained, creamy, dark tan colored head. Aroma follows the appearance with a bouquet of dark chocolate, and some peaty, smokiness. Flavor is likewise smokey and chocolaty with a surprising amount of dry, hop bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is creamy and oily. This is the kind of porter I really like!! DrBeer (777), Danderyd Stockholm, Sweden
