UPDATED: FEB 21, 2020 12oz bottle at Pizza Port, Carlsbad, CA on 27/04/2008. Very tasty, quite dry and somewhat hopped Porter with a coffee note at the end.

Could be one of the best medium-priced porters that I had that is sold in 6-packs. Actually bought a single of this to try after scouting it a bit. Was in the “clearance” section at Knightly Spirits/Metrowest in Orlando. I asked how old those bottles were, was told about 2 months or so, so for $1.50 I said I’d take my chances. Turned out to be a great experience. Nice hearty aroma of chocolate malts and coffee, with a slight bitterness from the hops. Good dark brown, near black appearance with dark mocha colored head. Smooth semi-creamy taste of chocolate, coffee (but overwhelmingly so like a robust porter). Loved the balance on this one. Can’t wait to buy a 6’er of this!

Dark brown/black color; Medium creamy body; Aroma of toasted malt, coffee, & hops; Flavor of roasted malt, hops, coffee, chocolate, and spice; Finish is bitter; Nicely balanced; Kinda like a black IPA - good.

Aroma is nice and earthy and grassy. The aftertaste is also very fresh and grassy.

Bought this from Beer Mongers in Portland, OR 11 months ago. Kind of forgot about it. Dark, black coffee appearance. Small head with little to no lacing. Still fairly carbonated and it retained some of the dry hop aroma. Smells very nice! Lot’s of subdued caramel, maltiness with some cocoa bits in there. Taste is surprisingly dry hoppy still with some licorice and caramel malt sweetness. Pretty tasty. Nice balance with the carbonation. Nice light richness in the mouthfeel with some cool textural quality. Really decent beer I wish I had drank fresh!

Coca cola brown, lasting tan head. Pronounced aroma. Medium body, well flavored, refreshingly crisp, little heat but nice carbonation, lingering and tasty finish. Bitter predominantly but plenty of sweet counternotes and balancing acidity. Roast and hop flavors compete, adding much complexity, interest and pleasure to this delicious experiment. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2016 Pours dark brown almost black, little head. The aroma is roast, caramel, earthy. Flavor is roasty, burn, coffee, sweet with suttle caramel. Really good. Overall aged for two years allows the flavors to develop well. Would recommend

Pours a deep ruby-black/brown with a large fluffy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, fruit, yeast, malt and hops. Flavourful taste is roasty and chocolatey with significant hops and fruit. Full bodied. Great porter!

Black color , medium-size beige head. Malty , chocolate aroma of a porter mixed with aroma of the american hop. Taste is more traditional :malt , coffee, chocolate . However ,hop shows up again in the end, as the interesting mix of hoppy and roast bitterness.

Pours black with a beige head. Aroma is pine with a hint of coffee. Hoppy for a porter with subtle coffee flavor.
