Feb 3, 2010 Bottle from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors. Light chocolate aroma.Black appearance. Heavier chocolate taste than aroma, medium malt taste. Light body, soft carbonation. A decent porter, probably even sessionable even though it’s 5.1%, not 5.

Feb 1, 2010 Bottle at Home. Pretty good!
Aroma is dominated by coffee and chocolate, some bitter hops lay hidden in the background.
Pours an amber brown with a frothy tan head and a decent lacing.
Taste is, of course, more chocolate and coffee that remains bitter front to back, but with a wonderful creamy mouth feel that coats the throat plesantly.
A nice porter that keeps Rogue in the front runnings for best American craft brewery.
