| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 16, 2004 The unusual "cough medicine" style bottle got my attention, and seemed interesting. Poured like cola with no head to speak of. I know this is gonna sound strange but it kind of smells freezer burned. Pretty odd indeed. Not much aroma perhaps some coffee and fruit. Sour milk, coffee, burnt toast, and green flavors. Slightly bitter and acidic in the finish. You could consider it complex in a odd sort of way. This is going to stay in the tried it once catagory.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 15, 2004 Updated: Jul 5, 2005This looked a little watery when I poured it and didn’t have a very substantial head. The color is a darkish brown. The aroma is deep malts. The flavor is somewhat nutty and chocolatey, not bad, but with a flat mouthfeel. Not bad, but this GREEN bottled beer’s keeping is somewhat suspect. I’ll try this again on a later date.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 12, 2004 Bottle Ƒ pt. 0.9 fl oz.) Dark reddish brown with a hint of ruby when held in direct light; decent-sized tan head that leaves substantial lacing. Really nice chocolatey aroma. Well-balanced; a little on the malty side, but pretty hoppy for a porter. Chocolate and roasted notes in the flavor. Not bad. crzybob77 (528), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 6, 2004 Very dark brown with a small, quickly diminishing beige head. Nice complex aroma of dark fruit, smokey wood, and honey. Slightly metallic flavor with dark fruit, bitter chocolate and smoked wood. Fairly thin feel, nice moderate carbonation. Not bad, but I could do without the metallic taste. joeec5 (204), bayonne, New Jersey, USA
