Pours light brown from the bottle and appear very dark brown in the glass. Light aromatics. Brown malt, caramel, light chocolate and espresso, banana peel arrive on the front palate, with a lovely backround of ripe sugar glazed fruits. Flavor is truly astoudingly complex, clearly a great recipe, yet I can’t say I’d want to drink it again. The beer tastes too dead.

Oct 8, 2008 500ml bottle. Pours Dark brown with thin tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, tons of chocolate, coffee and some alcohol on nose. Flavor is mostly chocolate and roasted malts with coffee, caramel and alcohol. Was a little to boozy for my liking but still a fine porter. A nice sipper for a cool fall evening.

Sep 27, 2008 Love this porter. Deep and dark, a creamy head that lasts a long time, smooth flavors and a high ABV made this a great Friday night drink. I’m a porter lover, and this is right up there with my favorites.

Sep 24, 2008 Bottle, 9.5%. Sweet and roasted aroma. Black colour. Big stable light brown head. The flavour is quite sweet, has a hint of metal. Roasted liquorice notes and a burning/warming alcohol finish. Why so much alcohol?

Sep 20, 2008 <i>Bottle (33 cl), thanks jhagmar</i>. Dark brown, almost black, short beige head. Roasted aroma with chocolate, some coffee, and a touch of alcohol. Well balanced dry finish. Chewy mouthfeel. Quite good, but a bit dull. Overrated.

Sep 14, 2008 A sweet malty aroma. Looks good. This is strange. It isn’t bad; it just isn’t that good. A little roasy, way too dry in the finish. Ehh.
