One of my very favorite porters.
Pours deep black with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is of coffee, deep roasted malt and a very little bit of floral hops. Flavor is similar to the scent, this porter has a very strong coffee flavor, along with cocoa, and a good bitterness that plays well with the roasted malt flavors. The palate is a little thick and grainy, however with a creamyness in the back of the mouth.

Oct 10, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured a deep, dark mahogany color. Nice tan head, too. Aroma was malted barley, some coffee notes. Flavor was robust, with rich chocolate and roasty coffee notes coming through. Palate was excellent, a thickness that didn’t get in the way but carried the flavors nicely. I plan on getting some more of this.

Oct 9, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours nearly opaque brown with a medium tan head. Aromas of sweet dark fruits (tons of raisin and red grape), caramel, chocolate. Flavor follows suit with the dark fruits and chocolate, then some roastiness. Clean finish.

Oct 5, 2008 Very dark pour with an off-white head that left nice lacing. Aroma was weak, consisting mainly of muted malt and coffee. Taste was better, with a mix of chocolate and coffee and some roastiness/smokiness.

Oct 3, 2008 poured dark brown with nice head that disapated to a thin head that lasted forever. didn’t get much aroma but my smeller may not be working too well. Flavor is great - creamy and chocolate/malt/coffee - nice little bite in the aftertaste to mix it up - awesome palate - Very good and I plan to get some more of this stocked up.
