joeec5 (204), bayonne, New Jersey, USA Dec 4, 2004 black, no head....roasted malt aroma and taste.,.slightly sour taste also..pretty good. jimmack (1221), Nutley, New Jersey, USA Dec 4, 2004 Dark brown with a small tan head. Smoky roasted malt aroma. Flavor of roasted malt, smoke, and bitter dark chocolate. A little thin. tiggmtl (4307), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Nov 27, 2004 Roasted malts, chocolate in the aroma. Clear, but almost opaque dark ruby brown with tan head that recedes to decent cover with some coating on the glass. Very complex taste has plenty of roasted malts without overwhelming the subtler flavours - chocolate, sulfur, salt, some herbal notes and perhaps a touch of smoke. Fair bitterness marks the finish. Medium-full body, decent carbonation engages the tongue. Bottle. Mangino (1027), Mississippi, USA Nov 23, 2004 Pours a dark borwn/black. No head. aroma is dry, grass, malt. Flavor is dark roasted malt. Notes of choclate, and bitter. oily slick mouthful. Thanks to MIBRomeo MIBRomeo (1962), Wisconsin, USA Nov 22, 2004 thick and dark pour w/ a soap bublly head.. came in a cool looking bottle, smelled of carmel, coffee, and something earthy (grass maybe?)... the palate was mildly creamy a touch bitter, and had some good carbonation, the flavor was a little lacking for a porter but had the normal coffee w/ some maltiness and a bitter aftertaste. Overall nothing outstanding about this porter, but not a bad beer. davidCC (130), New York, USA Nov 20, 2004 Updated: Mar 1, 2008Slightly bitter taste with an extremely odd after-taste. The entire time I was drinking it I was trying to figure it out with no success. JensenTaster (1585), Denmark Nov 6, 2004 (on bottle) When I wanna go for a old-style porter, this is what I aim for. Smells like a cola, has loads of roat too. Mouth is thin and watery; OK in this case. And a fantastic long and dry coffee finish. Good for me. TJackHole (72), USA Nov 3, 2004 dark appearence with light tan head, light smell with great bitter finish. good deep burnt flavor, very easy palate. very good porter.
