Bottle at home in London with Lyoli. Pours a clear brown with a soft, off-white head. Nutty, slight roasted malt nose. Sweetish flavor with cocoa, light toffee, light roast and mild bitters. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finish has a bit more roasty bite, more cocoa, some brown sugar and modest leafy bitterness. Nice, highly drinkable beer.

Aroma of vanilla, oak, and coffee. Good palate. Low carbonation. Flavor has cardboard, grain, and some coffee, but something seems off with the flavor. Still, very cheap at Trader Joes, so no regrets.

12 ounce bottle from Trader Joe’s in Glen Allen, VA. Pours a very dark ruby color with a medium head. Decent retention and good lacing. Aroma of nuts, chocolate and fruity notes. Taste is caramel, toasted malts, caramel and nuts. Medium bodied.

12oz bottle from TJs poured into a New Belgium goblet glass. Its a pretty good porter with a lot of chocolate coming through. Easy drinking, not much of a head formation though. Not much more I can say about that but decent stuff, cannot understand the low ratings. This is the first decent thing that Shipyard has contract brewed.

12 oz bottle from Trader Joes; not an aliased Sea Dog; Nose has caramel, chocolate and a light diacetyl (buttery) note; claer but very dark brown with a medium beige head; flavor was very light caramel, light hop bitterness, and that pesky diacetyl (light and quickly fading but present). Finish lightly bitter.

Brown bottle from Trader Joes. Nutty, chocolaty aroma. Near opaque brown/black color with reddish hilites. A respectable beige/tan head. Thin to medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is caramel, nutty, and maybe a light touch of chocolate. The finish has a slight sour note, some nut, some roasted malt. Reasonably dry. Bitter. Interesting porter.

2004 draught at KBC in ME. Pours a light coppery/straw golden yellow. Small white head. Aroma is crisp, yet quite hoppy and lightly metallic. Flavor has hints of grain and a very high bitterness for the relatively lacking malt aspect. Drank it down quickly, but it just didnt have any balance or interesting aspects. Good medium to medium full body, but just to americanized pale ale tasting. This tastes nothing like an english bitter. Way too hoppy/metallic/acidic.

Copper-coloured; Earthy, butterscotchy palate and aroma. Slight grassiness. Simplistic rating for a simplistic brew.
