Black body, creamy tan head quickly fades, no lacing produced. Aroma of sweet chocolate and a bit of licorice. Flavor has chocolate, thick bitter coffee. Has a very slight chalky feel. Not overly special.

Jul 30, 2008 Strong aroma, dark fruits mainly. after it warms up i also get coffee.
dark brown, light brown head.
flavor dark fruits, banana, coffee, some boose flavor that i disliked, but only when cold, was better when warmer.
actually it does not taste entirely like a porter, more like an aged beer of some sort. or a mix. For an aged beer it is very very good.

Jun 18, 2008 Nice with a truly english stout (i.e. only slightly carbonated, flat and malty)! Lack of carbonation gives way to a slowly building, sugar sweet alcoholic flavour that lingers for a long time. A bit bland smell, which improves along the way - but do I detect somewhat fleshy notes? Taste is caramel, cream, some liqourice and some smoke (though not too much) - all within the burned malt. All in all a nice and stouty beer, but not that outstanding.

May 22, 2008 On tap at Capital Ale House - Midlothian. Dark black body with a medium creamy dark tan head. Chocolate and molassas aroma. Dark chocolate flavor, molassas, very little hop flavor, but a firm hop bitterness. Medium body, slightly thinner than I expect for an imperial stout, Medium low carbonation.
