(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of sk8viking. Pours black and opaque with a huge, light brown head. Fruity, raisiny aroma. Medium body only with burned malt accents. Some fruitiness before a heavy malt astringency in the finish. 171107

12 oz. bottle from Suttree. Pour is a clear rediish-brown with a big fluffy tan head. Beer sparkles in the glass, almost looks metallic. The head was very lasting, finally settling into a one inch rocky mousse. Aroma of cocoa and malt. Taste is pretty bitter, roasty (almost a charred taste) and some of the cocoa sweetness from the nose. Nice flavor, though the body was a bit thinner than I like for Brown Ales.

Bottle courtesy of Turdfurgeson: Poured a light clear black color porter with a huge foamy dirty brown color head with good retention and some very good lacing. Aroma of black chocolate and roasted coffee with a dry ending with limited bitterness. Taste is also dominated by dry coffee and chocolate notes with a nice creamy texture. I really appreciated the creamy texture and the great carbonation. I thought this was a well balance take on the style and would enjoy having regular access to this beer.

12 oz. bottle from Suttree. Best before 11/07. Pour is clear red-mahogany with a one inch off white head. Aroma of biscuit malt and some slight fruit (dried orange?) sweetness. Taste of caramel biscuit, with a somewhat smoky palate and a touch of hop bitterness in the finish. Tasted very well made, and one of the more interesting I have had in this style.

Courtesy (again) of Gillard, thanks buddy. Pours a deep amber with thin tan head. The aroma comes across as pretty sweet for a Porter. It is sweet as well as roasty at the same time with mild burnt maltiness. The flavor starts sweet and roasty. I get lighter roasted malts before the burnt malt flavors enter toward the finish. The malt after taste holds a mostly burnt maltiness. Flavorful Porter but a little light on the burnt malts I come to expect from the style. Yum. The after taste goes for a while and really makes this beer work for me.

Bottle courtesy of Turdfurgeson: Poured a deep clear copper color ale with an average size head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sweet malt is quite intense. Taste is also dominated by the intense sweet malt with no notes of peat malt or toffee that I usually like in the style. This beer resemble more a barleywine then a scotch ale and was definitely too sweet for the style.

Bottle. (trade w/the_epeeist) Pours black, with a brown head. Chocolate, licorice, some coffee, burnt and roasted malt, in short terms, all the good stuff, in the aroma. The flavor follows up the good start, with a little salty note added, like the saltyness in salty licorice, and the coffee is a bit more evident. The fullbodied beer has a long finish with sweetness, some saltyness and licorice. Really, really nice. (070809)

Bottle from EithCubes - Thanks! Pours a dark brown with a tan head. Vast aroma of roast and cocoa. Its got that bit of vanilla sweetness, yet a hint of smoke. Taste is rich with dark fruitiness, roasted malt, and chocoalte/mocha notes. Very smooth and creamy. Excellent.

Bottle courtesy of Turdfurgeson: Poured a clear deep brown color ale with a rather large foamy head with good retention. Aroma of deep caramel malt with some light molasses. Taste is also dominated by some sweet caramel malt as well as molasses with some light toffee notes. I also found it to be quite hoppy for the style but it still made enjoyable. Body is quite full with some good carbonation. Pretty good overall if maybe a tad too sweet for my liking.
