Pours opaque dark brown, almost black, with a tall, long-lasting light brown head of tight bubbles. Cocoa powder aroma. Fruity roasty. Cocoa, coffee, lightly bitter roast malts, some vanilla. Very nice.

I am bored with porters lately but this is a cut above. Oak in the aroma, as well as roasted malt. Some herbal/vegetable character as well as more malt. Fairly dry, and a heavy palate. A world class porter.

16.9oz bottle. Pours a deep chocolate black with a lively fuzzy head. The price is ruggedly high on these beers in the US, but this is certainly worth trying. Sort of an off aroma reminiscent of Caribbean stouts. The body and mouthfeel on this beer is awesome. Drinkable, while maintaining complexity and alcohol. One of the best Porters out there.

Pours a deep, slightly watery, opaque black with a foamy tan head that took a while to settle and lasted the length of the glass. Aroma is heavy on the roasted malts with a distinct woody aroma on the end. Flavor has plenty of roasted malt, nuts, wood, maple, chocolate, caramel, and vanilla. Finish is slightly watery with plenty of lasting bitterness from the heavy roast. This was a nice, solid porter, but for the money you can probably get something with some more complexity.

Not bad, tastes like a big dry stout. Lots and lots of roast, ashy with alot of coffee. Medium palate but not alot of heavy sweet malts. Rather, notably dry, bitter and roasted. Quite a bit of carbonation, with a big foamy head and a fizzy mouthfeel. Nearly opaque, deep crimson at the edges in the light.

Bottle: Very dark brown pour with crimson edges. Large beige head. Roasty tones, dark chocolate, and dark fruits make up a nice aroma. Tastes of roasted malt, slightly burnt, coffee, bitters, currants, and has a slight fruity twinge. Enjoyable. Thanks BuckDich.

Bottle. Aromas of dark chocolate and toasted/smoked malt. Near opaque brown/black color with an impressive tan head that laces somewhat. Full bodied with creamy/chewy carbonation. The flavor is coffee, genuinely bitter toasted malt, and bakers chocolate. This is a truly impressive imperial stout. Oh, it’s a porter. Hmm! The finish is dry, and more cacao than coffee. Not quite so bitter as the start. Off and on there’s a floral hop note, but it’s all about dark stuff in a dry toasted way. Half way to Dark Lord?
