Historically the term used to describe a porter blended from a variety of ales, entire butt uses 14 different malts and 3 hops to recreate this forgotten style of porter. The beer is black/brown with a crisp white head and is distinctly vinuous. It has little hop character as essentially the flavour is derived from the malts. Malts used: pale Maris Otter, lager, wheat, pale crystal, dark crystal, dark chocolate, pale chocolate, black, roasted barley, caramalt, torrified wheat, amber malt, brown malt and malted oats.

Bottle. Sweet chocolate malt and herbal hops aroma. Dark chestnut color with nice head - a beautiful pint. Lightly sweet toffee malt and moderately bitter herbal hops flavor. Decent body. A hoppy porter - nice.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, a lot of nuts and a touch of toffee. Medium-bodied; Pungent malty flavour with a lot of caramel and chocolate tastes followed by a little bit of cardboardie maltiness and some light earth notes. Aftertaste shows some good consistent flavours of nuts and caramel with a lot of malt and a touch of alcohol noticeable. Overall, a good beer - and since i’ve never seen it for sale here in Washington - good to sample! I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from CommonWealth Gastropub in Columbia Heights, Washington, DC on 05-April-2009.

Draft at Pizzeria Paradiso - Georgetown, Washington D.C. Poured a dark brown (almost black) color, with a off-white head. Aroma was roasty, chocolate hints, a touch of dried fruits. Flavor was similar as taste, complex roasted character, though very light in body.

Bottle from Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa, CA. Pours really dark brown with ruby glints at the edges. Average foamy beige/tan head. Rich aromas of chocolate and toasted malt. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Flavor is largely chocolate with some dark burnt malt bitter. The chocolate leaves, the bitter stays. It’s really a good drink.
