| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2006 22 oz. bottle. Black with a big bubbled but stable brown head. Big chocolate and hop aroma helped by caramel malts. Thinner in body than expected. Excellent and well balanced flavors of chocolate, coffee, caramel and hops. Well made beer. pbjclimber (150), Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA

Flavor is of chocolate with a nice coffee mix with a little caramel. A bit of bitterness is also present. This is well balanced and a great beer. sersdf (1000), chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 2, 2006 huge thanks to zeswaft for this bomber. big pretty dark brown head. kiinda uglyish foam after a while, but it’s still an easy five. smells exactly as i would hope. big hops but even bigger roasted malt, perhaps a tiny bit of sourness. porter aroma. somehow, i’m strangely reminded of the JP imperial stout... like a light-bodied imperial stout. it’s actually really good at refrigerator temperature. ridiculously good. largely roasted flavor. a bit one-dimensional, but it’s easily the best porter i’ve ever had. 00cobraR (1098), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 8, 2006 Big Bottle. Delicious. Head was out of control - mocha colored and fluffy, beautiful lacing. Thick pour for a porter, very rich. Chocolatey, a bit of apricot and hints of pine. Traditional 3F hoppy kick at the end, but so much as to upset the balance of this porter. A different and very delicious porter. I have to go ahead and rank this #1 among the porters that I have tasted. My full rec. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA

Pours a deep mahogany color with a nice tan head. A good blend of hops, roastiness, and mocha. Almost has an olive-like flavor on the tongue midway through. A slight bitterness toward the end, but not too much. A very well-balanced porter. 22 oz. bottle, $7.99. Dickinsonbeer (3449), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA

Aroma is actually a bit light on the hopppy side for a FFF product, but the typical citrusy, apricot, hoppiness is there along with a lot of thcik sweet chocolate malt. Light roast in the flavor accompanied by more chocolate some light caramel and toffee. Nice medium bittering hops in the end make it very smooth and easy drinking despite the high ab v for a porter.
