BuckeyeBoy (1642), Boise, Idaho, USA Oct 11, 2007 Tap at The Front Door Boise, Pours out a very dark brown topped with a tan head. A nice aroma of roast and chocolate. Tast of sweetness and some coffee. not bad. jake65 (1657), Williston, North Dakota, USA Oct 10, 2007 Draft @ The Front Door in Boise: Pours a dark brown color with a moderate tan head. Nice lacing. Aroma is mild of roasted malts and mocha. Taste is has more mocha that roast, a bit of coffee, and a light creaminess. A little thin on the body for the style. BückDich (4785), McCall, Idaho, USA Oct 5, 2007 Draft @ Front Door, Boise, ID: Pours a dark black color, nice tan head. Nose of light cocoa and dark fruit, some roast, but very light. The flavor is thin, some sweet roast and vanilla, but lacking the chewy body this style needs. The finish is thin and light. Eh, ok. DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Oct 1, 2007 Dark cocolate brown with a moderate tan coloured head that doesn’t last very long. Nice aromas of bitter chocolate, faint coffee. Very chocolatey palate, faintly raisiny and nutty notes as well, moderately sweet, and earthy faintly minerally note in the finish. A solid porter. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 01/21/1996

marcus (1826), Sacramento, California, USA Aug 21, 2007 This black ale poured with a fluffy tan head. The flavor is chocolate malt, but is way too thin. There is a slightly bitter finish. This is a disappointing version of one of my favorite styles. IrishBoy (2686), Bakersfield, California, USA Aug 18, 2007 Bomberfrom Bottle Barn! Nose of roastinesswith a coffee note; clear dark brown with a big tan, glass-lacing head; flavor has some coffee, chocolate, and a little pepperiness. badlizard (2325), Berkeley, California, USA Aug 5, 2007 650 mL bottle. Black with a creamy white head. Roasted malt aroma. The taste isn’t as robust as I wanted it to be, but there’s some roasty character and a little chocolate taste to the finish.
