Pours black with just a hint of ruby highlights and a dense, creamy, tan head. On the nose are notes of: chocolate, molasses, banana bread, and roasted malt. Quite nice. Medium-bodied and oily while remaining lively on the tongue and concluding with a lightly bitter finish. The flavor is a blend of dark roasted malt, chocolate and molasses with a tight, tongue squeezingly bitter finish. A roasty molasses aftertaste lingers along with a nice hop bitterness. This is a very tasty beer.

Aug 20, 2008 Chocolate aroma, slightly smoky, sweet. Chocolate taste, nice bitterness in the end along with sweet notes. I like this a lot more than in the first try, the mouthfeel is soft and rich. A very good beer.

Aug 19, 2008 Poured from tap black with a mocha colored medium sized head. Aromas of sweet malt and roast grain. Flavor is mildly sweet with malt, toffee, soft roast grain and coffee. Palate has a smooth feel with a light grain bitter-sweetness at the end. Not too thick, not too thin. Great porter for most occasions.

Aug 15, 2008 Remarkably complex flavor - toffee, chocolate, ripe fruit, peanut brittle, hoppy bitterness, and even a touch of alcohol. Could use a bit more body, but I’m not complaining. Good beer.

Aug 15, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown with a large creamy beige head. The aroma is chocolate, barley, slight roast, and dark fruit. The flavor has creamy semi sweet chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit, anise, and a nice touch of bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, smooth, very enjoyable. Nothing is over the top, just a well crafted porter
