Bottled. Almost black near no carbonation. Aroma of coffee and molasses. Sweet and nearly full bodied. Viscous and malty. Molasses are prominent. There’s licorice and tar, but nothing overpowering. Mild, yet powerful.

Bottled. Dark brown, small beige head. Light coffeea roma. Dryish with light to medium body. Some licorice and coffee - though it feels more like the watery American kind of coffee. A bit light overall, but strict and correct.

Bottled. Somewhere between pale amber and deep golden, small head. Light citric hoppy nose. Dry and light bodied with fragile malt character half covered in a thin blanket of grapefruity hops. Crisp and drinkable, but just too careful and painted in too thin layers of flavour.

Bottled. Hazy golden, small head. Aroma of vanilla and citrus. Medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel. Feels light and fresh, yet has a mild bready bitterness. Flowery and lightly spicy. Low bitterness. Very pleasant unassaulting beer.

Bottled. Pale amber, small head. Aroma of grapefruit and caramel. Sweet and very malty with medium-full body and rounded mouthfeel. Perfumy and very hoppy with long grapefruity bitterness. This is not American?

Light brown head with a very very dark brown body. Almost no light come from this porter. The nose has an interesting combination of citrusy hops, dark chocolate and coffee. Solid coffee, milk chocolate mouth, though a bit thin. Lasting roasted malty finishing that was a tad bitter and a tad dry. A little too carbonated for me.

12 oz bottle courtesy of hogfodder, who brought this back from Japan and shared it with after4ever and I on 3/20/08. Pour is orange golden, clear with little or no head. Aroma is very soft floral hops, rose hips and some rounded caramel maltiness. Taste is a nice balance, of the malt and hop with some nice resin - graininess through the finish. Aroma the highlight of this one. Thanks for sharing Rick!

Deep brown with a nicely contrasting light tan head. Roasted malts, chcocolate, caramel, and milk. Smooth, almost creamy body. Flavor is a little too roasted, but good. Roasted malts, chcocolate, molasses, dark fruits, and a little spice. Finish is roasted. This isn’t the best porter, but there isn’t anything wrong with it. Easy to drink.
