Dark brown basically black except in the light. Almost nothing forms for a head just some small light tan bubbly carbonation sits in spotty islands on top. Coffee and tobacco nose, sweet and roasted. Body is light with strong bitter roasted malts and coffee. A bittering finish lingers nicely with the roasted malt.

Nov 5, 2009 Poured dark brown, with a very sweet malt with some smoky and earthy flavor, a solid porter but nothing amazing, with a very thin taste.

Nov 1, 2009 Reviewed 7/25/2009 (bottle):
Pours a very dark dark brown colored body, with a small off-white color head, diminishing in size. Has a malty, grapy aroma, with some mustiness. Strong strawberry aroma. Malty taste, some roasted. Somewhat earthy.

Oct 31, 2009 Modest head that leaves very light lace on the glass. The liquor is dark brown where the faintest of light passes through.
Nice aroma of burnt toast and darker malts.
Well-balanced chocolate and black patent malt with a notable hop presence. The body is thin, like many of their other beers. But the flavor is rich and full.

Oct 24, 2009 Good roasted malt flavor, but the palate is a little bit thin. Just a little coffee. Drinkable enough. A decent session beer.

Oct 17, 2009 Looks like a dark chocolate brown. Nice finger of light brown head. Extremely dark with some light at the edges.
Nutty, grainy malt aroma. Not bitter of burnt; no coffee. Has a sweet, semi-chocolatey aroma. Smells dry and a little roasted but not typical porter. Not strong but nice. Coffee increases as it warms.
Chocolatey sweet flavor with a dry malt backbone. No new flavors, but balanced and nice enough. Nice tart aftertaste. Turns coffee-bitter toward the end with warmth.
A bit ashy and chunky. Appropriate for style. Good body. A really nice, solid porter. Typical, but enjoyable.

Oct 17, 2009 Pours a deep brown, almost black. No head at all. Noticed no foam halfway through the pour so I made the second half of the pour very vigorous, and still no foam. Aroma of nice roasted malts. Taste is a bit smokey but not overpoweringly so. Bit of a nutty, choclatey taste too. Good stuff, not great.
