Appearance: dark brown, very short, fizzy off-white head, medium lacing. Aroma: melted milk chocolate, with notes of dark chocolate and a little coffee, vanilla, and wood. Taste: mostly dark, bittersweet chocolate, a restrained hint of lactic tang, with notes of coffee, leather, wood, and hint of chalk. Finish: dry, crisp but smooth, a little sweet. Notes: Very chocolatey porter. Easy drinking, a little sweet, with a nice, but not overpowering, roasty undertone. Nothing wrong with this beer at all.

I would dispute the claim that this porter bears any real resemblance to an 18th century example, but it’s a solid enough beer, on its own. Roasty with a mix chocolate and cola flavors. It’s not as rich as better examples. Ashy feel with a mild tang. More roast bitterness than hop. Cola aftertaste. Mouthfeel is a bit fizzy. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a beige head. It’s an ok porter.

pours nearly black with a medium-brown head (a bit dark for a porter), barely transparent. Right up front you get the taste of really burnt coffee, followed by a slight soy sauce maltiness, smooth and medium to heavy bodied. Good, not exceptional though.

Pours neatly black from bottle with little head. Has a fairly big chocolate note on the nose. A dry roasted flavor on the tongue. Finishes clean. The mouthfeel was a bit thin and it felt undercarbonated for my taste.
