Jun 27, 2005 Updated: Jan 25, 2009Trying again after many years. The aroma came across as a little moldy to me. The mouthfeel was relatively light with light roasted character. Otherwise my original rating holds. Original rating follows. Light brown head with an almost black body. A hint of ruby shows when held to bright light. The aroma reminds me of a nice campfire. Roasted coffee and some whole grain bread also come into play. The mouthfeel is a little thick. The taste of this porter is incredibly smooth. Notes of chocolate, and roasted coffee. There is also a little hint of prunes, but it is very faint. A nicely done porter.

Jun 27, 2005 Deep ruby/dark brown pour with colossal tan head. Aroma of big chocoff, dark malt, figs, molasses. Tastes dark malty, with big chocoff, almonds. Complex, dense, chocolatey palate. Gets very coffeeish as it warms, and the balance and complexity could use some work. Still, a well above average porter.

Jun 26, 2005 Updated: Dec 16, 2007Pours black with foamy (overcarbonated) tan/mocha head. Aroma of fruity vinous esters, piney hops and some roasted malt. Taste is lightly sweet and winey with mild notes of chocolate, grape, mango and plums. Not bad, but somewhat strange for a porter.
