Jul 2, 2008 I was slow to drink this, because it was really quite enjoyable. This really does have a rich and creamy nose, and mouthfeel, lots of malted maltballs, chocolate milk and some roasted coffee notes, just a hint of bitter nuttiness in the finish. Remains smooth and creamy through and through. Nicely done.

Jan 21, 2008 wow. Bob was the last guy to rate it. Cheers to following each other around the country! Pitch black body with islands off brown head. Milk chocolate ilon the nose. impressive flavor for a porter - lots of chocolate and faint burnt malts.

Jul 15, 2007 On tap at the brewpub during ABA Beer Tour 07. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thick tan head that has good retention. Aroma of sweet coffee, milk chocolate, and some roasted nuts. Taste is full bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of coffee, black licorice, and vanilla. Not much flavor in the finish but has a smooth and creamy texture with a very dry hop bitter aftertaste.

Apr 14, 2007 Deep dark brown-black color with a small and fizzy off-white head. Aroma of coffee and chocolate malts. Well-balanced between bitterness and chocolate. Sharp and fizzing carbonated tongue feel. Very nice beer.

May 25, 2006 Tap at SIxth St. Grill HR. Deep brown, near black in color. Smallish tan-brown head never really fades out, leaves nice lacing. Big chocolate aroma, nice mix of heavily roasted grain. Fuller bodied which is nice. Great chocolate flavor, big earthy hops appear in the middle to finish. Nice
