A dark delight with a rich flavour and a great colour. Best compliments to the label as well

Had at the Porter on a very snowy day-perfect. Pours dark brown/black with light brown head. Strong aroma of expresso with a little cedar. Full bodied creamy chocolatey palate has more expresso and smokey flavors. Excellent.

Pours a luscious opaque sable with a fairly thick light tan head that leaves some decent lacing. Rich aroma is smoky with strong tones of molasses, fine coffee and semi-sweet chocolate. Flavor fills the mouth with smoked wood, semi-sweet chocolate, molasses and quality roast coffee with hints of caramel and toffee. Texture is thick, fizzy and oily, leaving a subtle tingle and a nice mocha finish. If you like stouts, this is worth a hunt.

Aroma is roasty, chocolate malts, a subtle smokiness and a very floral hop profile. Pours jet black with a nice off-white head. Taste is upfront with an intense roasted/smoky character. Smoke plays really well with this. Finishes really hoppy...very nice surprise. This beer combines a lot of my favorite things....will purchase again.

UPDATED: AUG 8, 2011 50cl bottle with the most nondescript label probably ever. Dumb tribute though. It pours a dark brownish black with a foamy tan head. The head is rocky and sticks for a nice while before receding to some nice lacing. The smell immediately stands out as it is one of the most fragrant stouts I have smelled. It is unique as well. It has an almost fruity tang to it with a ton of smokiness in various forms, mostly smoked peat and roasted malts but there is also a hint of campfire. The flavor is big and bold. It isn’t super smoky, but super, super roasty. There are notes of coffee, campfire wood, a nice smoky bitterness, smoked peat, and some dark chocolate. Some citrusy hops start to come in after a few drinks, adding to the bitterness. It is surprisingly light bodied, but it isn’t light or water, just smooth and drinkable. A fine brew.

Bottle from De Molen beer shop. Almost black color with medium frothy beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, coffee, caramel. Taste, roasted malt, coffee, dried plums, milk chocolate. Nice spicy, bitter finish.

Smoke and and roasted malt in the aroma, equal in every way. The flavor is dry and roasted malts mixed with chocolate and coffee. Very good in every way.

Pours a dark chocolate brown with thin frothy tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, smoked jerky and cocoa. Flavor is toasted cocoa nibs, nuts, and earthy peat and a hint of bitter citrus hops. Body is light yet creamy with mild carbonation.

Hotel room in Sheffield ... Thanks to Fonefan.Pitch black with a small brown head. Lovely roasted aroma, coffee, vanilla. Very smooth and creamy, great roasted maltiness in the flavor with some coffee notes. Very nice one. thanks Charlotte and Jan !

16 + ounce bottle from The Wine and Cheese Place. A black beer that has a nice fluffy tan head that very slowly fades. I smell light cocoa with smoke and nuts in the pleasant aroma. Chocolate is the first thing tasted and it is like fudge. After that I taste earthy hops that also add fruit and a bit of bitterness. Molasses is tasted. This is sweet and nicely complex. Hops grow with warming. If you don’t like this beer then wait a while and the flavor will change. The feel is very creamy and smooth. Sweeter beers are in my wheelhouse and this definitely qualifies. Well done. It is almost Presidential!
