Jul 16, 2006 The menu listed this as 5.9% ABV. Pours black with brown highlights and a great nitro head. The aroma is creamy caramel and chocolate. The body is medium with a naturally creamy mouthfeel. Nice notes of caramel and toffee carry the body, with light hints of vanilla and baker’s chocolate. Really solid example.

Jun 27, 2006 Bottle: Black coffee in color, huge light beige head, very foamy, fairly good retention, splotchy lacing. Cocoa and chocolate nose, slight sweet & sour fruitiness. Perhaps a bit of lactose as well. Sweet and tart fruitiness is quite strong with this one, with underlying bittersweet cocoa, chocolate, and roasted malts. Not a robust porter, but instead one with a lactose like sourness (minor) and fruitskin like sweetness. Fairly nice body, mouthfeel is moderate. Tangy finish, fairly malty, bittersweet cocoa and chocolate malts linger. Not bad! Thanks Sully for the bottle!

Apr 12, 2006 Updated: May 15, 2006On tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor.
Deep black with virtually no head. The aroma is apricot, peaches, and chocolate caramel. The flavor is sweet and fruity and pumpernickel-chocolately, like Zingermans chocolate cherry bread; the finish is slightly chalky and amply hopped to provide a lovely bitter conclusion. This one goes down quickly, easily, enjoyably, sweet but not heavy, a lovely light dessert.
Despite the stupid name, I’m impressed with this one.
