Capa (737), Yokosuka, Japan Aug 27, 2008 Dark with a creamy head. Vanilla, milk, roasted malts, and chocolate in the aroma. Full bodied and quite smooth. Plenty of chocolate malt, some vanilla, milk, and finishes with a very light cocoa bitterness. I could drink this all night, every night. Great porter. 1010 (12), Marysville, Ohio, USA Aug 22, 2008 Poured a dark brown color into a pint glass with a small head.
Had a roasted malt smell with a hint of chocolate.
You can definitely taste the roasted chocolate malt, but it is not overpowering. Quite drinkable even at 6.7% alc/vol. I only had one bottle, although it left me wanting more.
DandyWolfFloyd (225), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 17, 2008 Aroma is full of dark roasty malts, with some sweetness, and chocolate malts. The appearance is very dark, with a thin off-white head. A very dark color, brown-black. Flavor is full of chocolates, roasted barley malts, and coffee malts. The beer is a full-bodied well balanced. Also good for a quality session night. Steinface (68), Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 15, 2008 Feels like a dark lager in the mouth, yet tastes of a chocolately, malty porter. BeerGestapo (311), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 8, 2008 (USA) Pours a dark brown almost black color with a small dissipating tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts and chocolate !! The taste is of mild chocolate, coffee, and a hint of caramel. The mouthfeel is lite for a porter, but still very refreshing.
