Pours clear mahogany with an off-white head. The aroma is largely dried fruit with some caramel, but there is a fishy aroma thing going on here that detracts in a big way. Smooth, slightly sweet. Not much complexity here.

Bottle. Sweet backbone rounds out a nicely balanced porter. Inviting appearance with large, tan head atop a dark brown body. Aroma is sweet with toffee, dark chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic and lightly to moderately bitter. Sweet finish. Medium body with lively carbonation so much carbonation, in fact, that flavors are muted by it. Watery texture. Nice porter.

Hazy red to dark amber color; nice creamy head and lace. Powerful aroma, malty and sweet, with a touch of apples. Very sweet flavor, malty, with a touch of wood (at least bringing in some light astringency to counterbalance). A bit off track, but very enjoyable for me.

Black color; generous creamy head. Nice aroma, coffeish, creamy. Thick body, quite oily, strong chocolate and dark caramel flavor, some roasted malt too, a hint of liquorice and cinnamon; everything is very well mixed. Strong final, well bitter; if I can just dislike something, it’s a bit of sourness in the end. Powerful, excellent.

12 oz. bottle from Suttree. Pour is deep brown with ruby highlights and a nice looking 3 inch khaki head. Really good retention. Aroma of some nutty (almost almondy) malts and tobacco or smoke. Taste reveals some milk sourness, along with the nutty-roasted malt. Some of the woody smoke tobacco comes through in the flavor, causing it to be very dry. Unique stout.

Clear copper body that throws up a huge, loose head of foamy tan. Sweet malt aroma, little to no hops. Sweet, light, one dimensional, but i suppose that is the style. I prefer Ambers with more hop presence, but this one is excellent if a smooth,light, sweet ride is what you seek. Thanks to my SS for this one.

12 oz. bottle from Suttree. Pour is all black, with a big (3 inch) khaki head. Head was quite lasting. Aroma of roast chocolate malt. Taste is more of the roasty chocolate goodness. There is a nice element of earthiness to this one as well. Nice full body rounds this out nicely. Very well done Porter, thanks for this one Phil!

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of chocolate, and medium notes of roasted malt lending it a bit of acidity, but also hints of citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of chocolate and hard roasted malt, and medium notes of soy sauce and alcohol.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Clear, dark, amber golden with a creamy, beige head leaving some lacework. Fat aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Quite full-bodied, somewhat sticky sugar and caramel accents. Some floral accents and some bitterness in the finish. Not very balanced. 171107
