May 19, 2008 Draft at brewpub, coffee aroma, dark tan head, perfect porter in my book. Carbonation is dead on and flavor well balanced. There’s a reason that this one is always on tap.

Nov 19, 2007 Sampled on tap at the brewpub on 9/18/07: Pours an opaque black with dark mahogany edges and a wispy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and chocolate malts with a touch of cookie dough. Body starts with nice fullness and good earthy roasty caramel notes and smooth bittering coffee balance toward a lingering dark chocolate finish. A nice porter.

Oct 10, 2007 on tap-pours a thin tan head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-rich/roasty/chocolate, some hops. Taste is dark malt-rich/roasty/chocolate/caramel, secondary hops-earthy/bitterness. Way over 25 IBU to my taste and to the standard for this style, but nice.
