Bottle. Rating #1100. Pours a black colour with a small tan head. Dry roasted malty and slightly hoppy aroma. Dry malty roasted hoppy flavor with some hints of chocolate and coffee. Dry roasted finish with a warming bitter aftertaste. A lovely porter.

Bottle pours a deep black with a large foamy brown head. Heavy blocy lacing. Aroma is some bitter coffee, dark roasted, charcoal notes. Flavor is similar, a nice balance of dark roats and sweet dark pitted fruits and bitter chocolate. Nice medley. Finish is the smokey bitterness of old campfires. Thanks to OhioDad for this one too

Bottle. Coffee and chocolate milk aroma. Opaque dark brown with small head. Sweet creamy mocha coffee flavor with moderate hops. Delicious - on the hoppy side.

Thanks to Suttree for his generosity in sharing this rare and delicious beer. Simple appearance; black and not much of a head. Served just below room temperature. It is exceptionally smooth. Aroma has some yeast, chocolate and lots of red wine as well. Flavor is a little vinous, some coffee, light chocolate, and just a little sourness that so many Baltic porters have. Light and pleasant alcohol burn, but the alcohol is not present in the aroma or flavor.

Light brown colour. Aroma pretty typical for the style, toasty, woody, quite rich with caramel-toffee maltiness. Alcoholic and earthy, with a rich malty character. Quite chewy.

A black beer with a slight brown shine, underneath a brown head. The aroma is very light with hints of chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with light notes of both roasted malt and chocolate, leading to an end with a dry chocolate note. The body is a bit thin inspite of the 5.7% ABV.

Bottle from ross - dark reddish brown pour with minimal head/lacing - woody/roasty aroma, with hints of espresso and cream - slightly sweet throughout, tempered by a mild, earthy tartness - coffee beans mixed with vanilla, milk and toffee - reminds me of some of the better british porters I’ve had - doesn’t quite live up to those, but it’s close.
