COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Appearing almost black at first glance, Wild Goose Porter is actually a deep ruby-red ale. Roasted malt flavors accent its velvety finish.

Very good porter. Dark and thick with the amount of chocolate and coffee hops necessary for a great robust porter.

urbnhautebourg (997) - Annapolis, Maryland, USA - APR 28, 2003
Big frothy head with rather large bubbles. Good combination of dark malt and earthy hops in the nose. Flavor is of easy-going chocolate punctuated rather nicely with restrained citric hops, some esters and dark grain bitterness. Nice body to this porter.

jsquire (2461) - St. Marys, Ohio, USA - APR 9, 2003
Deep ruby color when held up to the light, with an attractive brown head that leaves good lace. Nice roasted grain nose. Heavy roasted coffee bean flavor. Smooth mouthfeel. Good porter.

aobecksy (661) - Middle of no where, Ohio, USA - APR 6, 2003
ruby red color; huge head, everlasting lace; smokey aroma leads to smokey taste, very malty--i miss chocolate aspects of other porters.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - MAR 31, 2003
Nice dark-brown body with small tan head. Aroma is coffee, medium sweet. Taste is coffee-chocolate malty, medium sweet, with mild bitterness in finish. Palate is creamy, and fairly thick for a porter.

beerluvindave (194) - Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 2, 2003
Very good porter, smooth and nicely malted. It has a bit of an aftertaste, maybe due to the hops.

wilkie (1209) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - FEB 14, 2003
Small head, ruby-black colored. Roasty aroma. Hops are bitter in the middle and leave a slight aftertaste. Chocolate and/or black malt flavor detected. A bit too dry for my taste. I prefer a little sweeter porters.
