A very outstanding porter. Pours nearly opaque black, showing red-amber around the edges. Large tan head, creamy and rocky, lasted til the end with medium lacing. Aroma is of bitter chocolate, a little coffee, slight roastiness, and just a hint of hazelnut. Flavor is very well balanced and light on the palate, with a dry finish. I get notes of bitter chocolate and light malt sweetness mainly. A little bit of coffee. Nice dry hoppy finish with lingering roasty flavors. Did I say this was very well balanced? Very very quaffable (that was a big bottle - where’d it all go so fast?)

Mar 14, 2010 22 oz bottle courtesy of bvc. Pour is mostly clear deep brown ruby with nice settling building up a two inch light tan head. Pretty lacing left behind. Aroma of citrus fruit hops, roasty malt and a faint grassy tobacco
aroma in the back. Fresh and unique nose - more used to the pine hop with a porter. Taste is the roast malt up front, followed quickly by orange citrus hop and moving towards the mineral grass earthiness. There is even a touch of vanilla powder sweetness. Nice integration and transition of flavors. Palate is medium to light bodied, nice carbonation and a quick clean finish. Nice refreshing porter, thanks Brandon.

Mar 12, 2010 Appearance is dark with small bubbly brownish/white head. My first HIGH rating. Aroma don’t really smell anything because i’m stoned right now and cant smell shit. Yea thats pretty funny dude! Ok i’m trying to be serious now. It has aroma of roast and barn. Taste is mildly roasty with some dark ripe fruits that a fly flew on. Good thing I didn’t open a fantastic beer for this rating mofo. Other than that I enjoyed it giggity giggity goo, get in sports car.

Feb 20, 2010 500 ml bottle at the Beerhive. Pours a pure black color with a medium white head. A strong roasted malt, light hops and milky nose. The taste is great; sweet ashy chocolate malts, milky, but aggressive sharp hops as well. Really smooth and well done. A great addition to the Utah beer scene. Awesome.

Feb 17, 2010 This porter is very much to style. Not overly dark and heavy like a lot of "stouty" porters are these days. Nice dark brown/ruby color with an off-white head. Nice toasted grain aroma followed by a smooth, roasted mailt/chocolate taste. Excellent malt/hop balance and a satisfying finish.
