Brown with light head and minimal lacing. Low head retention. The aroma has elements of fruit, light coffee, caramel, and citrus. Flavor is rich, somewhere between stout and porter. Coffee, toasted bread, pineapples, malt. Medium body and low-medium carbonation. Some bitterness on the finish.

Reddish brown in the Duvel tulip with a nice foam rising and lots of lacing in the glass. Adequate carbonation with a lighter body, though some oily sensation. Rather sharp and winey with dark roasted malt as the main feature. Rather sweet with some mango and pineapple, for some reason.

This is certainly not very hoppy, so I'm not sure why they're bragging about the dry hopping. There is just a little bitterness to finish out each sip, but it's more malty and fruity with some molasses. There is a peculiar sweet and sour taste that cloys before long. This is an odd one and I'm glad to pour the last couple fingers out. From the 12 oz bottle bought at Texas Wine Cellars in Fredericksburg.

Initially some smoke and hop aroma. Citrus taste, the hops came through. A nice tasty hopped porter, well integrated with a hoppy finish. A few weeks after best date but it was just fine. A very nice porter, thanks Steve S. Middling mouthfeel. Nicely drinkable.

Appearance: The body is a deep mahogany brown, crowned with a massive, dense , coarse tan head, whic retains superbly. The lacing is of the Belgian style. There are numerous columns of fast-rising bubbles, which serve to buttress the head.

Aroma: Abundant leafy and grassy herbal hops dominate the aroma. There are also notes of coffee, earth, and particularly roasted malt.

Taste: Opens with solid, balanced herbal hops and classic roasted malt. The hops dominate the taste, although not to the extent of diminishing the malt. As the taste progresses, the hops ascend a bit, but the roasted malt remains. Finishes with a mild, lingering herbal hop bitterness.

Mouth feel: Smooth, soft, pleasant, with a hint of carbonation.

Drinkability/notes: Rather hoppy for my taste, but well made, and easy to appreciate.

Presentation: Packaged in a twelve-ounce brown glass long-neck bottle with a pry-off crown, served in a Samuel Adams Boston Lager glass.

Sourcing: Purchased at HEB in Texas in April, 2013, for $8.99/six-pack.
