A pitch black beer with a huge chocolate brown head. The aroma is lovely sweet with notes of chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, some burnt notes, and hints of coffee, leading up to a dry end. Wonderful.

Cloudy golden appearance with a huge foamy head - bready, lemony aroma with hints of spice - crisp and refreshing, with citrus and hops pretty dominant, yet yeasty and full-bodied for such a light ale - a nice twist on the style.

2003 750mL bottle. Pours a thick looking red-amber, with a good beige head, quite foamy. Quite bubbly as usual for the brewery. Smells lightly spicy (cinnamon, comfrey, peppermint, allspice) and has a good hop presence. The hops seemed to have mellowed and melded with the candy-like malt sweetness. Flavor is right away spicy and before it really has extended breathing time, there is a strange plastic flavor mixed in with the hops and other spices. Loose, medium body throughout, but a decently flavorful experience. Odd, but I could justify giving this a really low rating or a pretty decent one. On one hand, it seems thin and strangely spiced, with no real purpose. On the other, it tastes real, you can see the sediment at the end of the glass and you know it’s well made. I dont know, I thought it got much better after it warmed and breathed for about an hour or so. Very yeasty, herbally and earthy. Strange, but I liked it.

Draft. No carbonation. Smooth, sweet caramel, and has a tiny hops flavor. Finish has an interesting bubble-gum yeast flavor that is out of place, but good. Big sweet fruitiness. well balanced. It's a nice change from overhopped APAs.

Stout-like darkness, large head of medium-sized bubbles that shrinks quickly, leaving a decent lacing - wonderfully inviting aroma of cocoa, brown sugar, maybe even some plums - flavor is quite similar to Fuller's London Porter - lots of coffee and chocolate, with a slight bitterness throughout to compliment both of these flavors - high carbonation gives a tingly mouthfeel - creamy despite this high carbonation - some cookie/doughy flavors - a world-class porter.

75cl bottle, aged 5 years in my cellar
Dark amber color.
Wonderful aroma, malty and well hoppy; caramel; phenol.
Smooth, quite sweet, malty, with a very good hop character.
The palate is still quite sweet. Beautiful hop aromas for this beer.

This is an odd one indeed. Cloudy golden appearance with lots of floaties. This has an aroma of sweentess and bread. The bread in the smell comes through in the flavor a bit, as well as a mild nut flavor. There is a citrus-like tartness in the flavor that last through the finish. Medium bodied and easy to drink, this is an ale that is worth trying, but not worth troubling yourself to search for.

Pale tan; doughy malts, ultra carbonation that really messes with this beer. Some hop in the finish.

Add my name to the list who feel that this beer is overcarbonated. Dark brown; large aroma of brown malt, cocoa; has dry, crackerlike, toasty flavours though despite the dryness hop flavours are restrained.

Very very good. Not really a porter, but a stout: strong firm body, plenty of malt and alcohol, definite roasted barley flavors. Rich and chocolatey - really a nice flavor. The main drawback for me was that it was over-carbonated. I had to pour with extra care - I kept having overflows with each pour nevertheless (it came in a big champagne bottle). Mouthfeel was noticeably fizzy - I could go for something a bit smoother. Nice chocolate and roasted aroma. Very dark to black color with tan head.
