Dark color with lots of caramel, most other flavors were pretty muted. Drinkable, yet not exciting.

Feb 7, 2010 Enjoyed on tap at the Glendale location. Opaque black with a white head, thick, lacey. Subtle roast aroma.Creamy coffee makes this a good mouthfeel, and brings out the coffee an the graininess. Mollasses and chocolate as well. This batch rated 6.4% abv.

Jan 17, 2010 Reviewed 12/18/2009 (Tap @ BJs Clear Lake, Houston, TX):
Pours a very very dark brown color body, almost black. Smallish creamy tan colored head, lastingish. Roasted aroma, some nuttiness. A little coffee. Some milky, creamy sweetness. Not very strong. Creamy mouthfeel, smooth. Some roastiness, coffee and sweetness. Pretty clean, a little watery, like a porter. Tasty. Very good lasting lacing.

Some roast aroma. Dark coloured smooth and rich on the palate with a little dryness and bitterness in a crisp roast finish.

Nov 16, 2009 Draught at BJs San Jose. Pretty typical porter color that is not black but pretty close, with a lasting beige head. Lightly toasted malt aromas with some mineral water as well. Burnt toast flavor with some watery chocolate, then finishes chalky with some weird rotting fruit. Thin in the mouth. Pretty weak porter; I hope this was just a bad keg.

Nov 12, 2009 Roasty, hints of chocolate finishes fairly dry. Very thin and lacking in depth for a porter, I echo the comments from patrick767. I’d like to see more robust flavors from this robust porter.

Nov 5, 2009 Scottsdale. Dark, clear brown. Creamy tan head. Nitro pour. Roasty and nutty aroma. Flavor is a bit sweet with light roast, cocoa and nuts. A tad watery.

Oct 21, 2009 tap from the Boulder brewpub - Pours dark brown with a roast malt aroma. The flavor is dark roast malt with a little coffee. I think the body is too thin. Overall it’s drinkable but underwhelming.
