3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Inky dark brew with small tan head. Aroma of burnt malt, cocoa, coffee. Taste is sweet malts, maybe a little honey, at the start transitioning to a burnt malt / black cocoa / modest hops finish. Great dark chocolate overtones int he finish - just overtones, not like a glass of Quick or something. Overall, this is very good.

4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A very drinkable beer whose flavor does not overpower the rest of the meal. The cocoa flavor is mild, complimenting the porter base.

yikes, where did this one come from? don’t even remember getting this, so let’s call it ’aged’. Anyway, pours near black with a small tan head that settles into a ring very quickly - sediment-filled body. Aroma is, well, cocoa, chocolate and more cocoa - very sweet and almost Nestle Quik like - definitely one-dimensional, but the dimension is fun and pleasant. Flavor doesn’t live up to the aroma though - thin chocolate, hint of caramel malts - but its overall very shallow...blah. Palate is similarly thin and wimpy. Not a particularly good beer, though there really is nothing ’offensive’ in this brew either...
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Dark Brown pour. Roasty chocolate nose with some nut aromas. Weak flavors are the same, but it tastes watered down. No off flavors, but nothing special
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From the bottle. Black pour with a small tan head. Aroma of roast and chocolate with a little sweetness from the honey. Taste is a little chcoolate with some roast and a little molasses. Not bad.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Obvious cocoa taste very mildly with a decent carbonation to it. Lose some of the quality on the finish.
