“Decent. Citrusy with light malt, leading to a mid bitter, light sweet ale...decent.” -- by thepegjett

“On tap: pour is clear golden, an average fine bubbled white head that does retain well in this glass. Some sticky lacing is present. The nose reminds of.pumking, quite simply. The pumpkin pie, spices, and cream are all there. The flavor profile lacks.for.my tastes, the beautiful harmony of linking becomes.muddied by the simple.oak treatment . I would have preferred something.with more heft, revealing heavy vanilla oak notes preferrably. I prefer the original.” -- by Hair6a11

“Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Clear golden, small head. Sweet and doughy. Medium bodied, rounded mouthfeel. Honey and grains and plenty of hay-like hops. Mid bitter finish.” -- by omhper

“Cask. Pours hazy orange/amber with thin, creamy white head; short retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is orange, lemon, straw and cookie malts, grassy hops, some floral notes, and light herbs. Flavor is balanced sweet malt and fruit esters with faint hops; light and sweet throughout with a semi-dry finish. Light body with low carbonation and medium warmth.” -- by sonnycheeba

“Tap @ HotD... Poured an amber orange with a white head. Loads of lacing. This hit the spot. A solid Maibock. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel, Some sweetness and husky grains, with a hint of floral, grassy hops. Short, clean finish. And finished a little dry. Oats, vanilla, hints of wheat and spice. HotD needs to make more lagers!” -- by boFNjackson

“Bottle. Pours lightly hazy amber with a trace of head around the edges. Aroma is sour fruit, pears, caramel and cereal malt, grassy notes, and honey. Flavor is sweet malt initially followed by strong sour fruit esters that slowly taper off to a smooth, dry finish. Medium body, low carbonation, and medium warmth.” -- by sonnycheeba

“I wouldn’t have bought this if I knew it had lactose; I’ll pay for it later. Deep black color, not much aroma - a little sweet coffee. Flavor is lightly roasty, coffee and dark malt. Underwhelming. It seems to be all about the texture, which is very smooth but has no reason for its existence. Too smooth, sweet and thick to stand up to the one-dimensional flavor. This would be much better with oatmeal instead of the lactose, and a bit more roasted barley.” -- by mensch

“2004 Bottle received via trade with Alen. Pours mostly clear with essentially no head, just a few tiny bubbles sitting on top. Aroma is acetic acid, light date notes, cellar, and straw malt. Some alcohol notes permeate late with stale hops and cork notes. Flavor is acetic fruit (pears, grapes, apricot) and a substantial malt body, lightly sweet with a dry finish. Medium body and low carbonation.” -- by BeerandBlues2

“Tastes of caramel, molasses, spice, and piney hops come in at the end. This is very good, certainly worth buying again.” -- by EvanFriend

“More of a pale lager with the fruitieness. Nice mellow hoppy finish. Decent.” -- by thepegjett

“12 oz. bottle. Pours coca-cola brown, with a small, beige head. The aroma is toffee, molasses, and roasted malts. The flavor is sweet, with a faint roasted bitterness and a little spiciness. The palate is medium, syrupy, and sticky. Overall, this is a mediocre porter, and the coconut is minimal.” -- by GTAEgeek

“Bottle from random supermarket in St John’s, Antigua. Black with a tan head. Nose of sweet charred malts. Similarly sweet flavour with a hint of metal. No world beater but just about bearable chugged down in the sun with a little wadadli bless.” -- by wyzzywyz22

“0,5 l Bottle. Best before 09. DEC 2012 Cereal, hay, citrus, golden, clear, minimal head, white foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, medium body, sticky, average carbonation,” -- by hawanna

“It pours dark black with a beige/brownish foam head. Smells chocolate and roasted malt with clean pepper touch. In mouth ... Red Hot Chili Black Beer ! ! ! ! Intense hot sensation harmonized by a malty Porter style aromatic profile. Interesting hot Porter.” -- by JEK69

“Pours dark copper with no head. Aroma is deep ripe berries, nice brett, sweet cherries, sour berries, currants, vinous, a little lacto acid, fresh vanilla, nice barrel, a little bit of fruity tobacco and some apples. Taste is nice ripe fruits, sour currants, dry wood, dark oak, brown aleish notes behind, apples, a bit of vanilla here too, pretty tart in general, nice brett and a bit of lacto acid. Pretty dang nice to enjoy outside on a sunny eve!” -- by RasmusOtt
