UPDATED: MAY 12, 2003 782 days since I last sampled this beer, and I was sure I’d probably never see it again.

The beer a deep brown to black, the head gigantean in size, creamy in texture and a beauteous light chocolate in color. The aroma of lightly toasted grains, coffee, and sweet malt make up this treat to the schnozzle, with the start sweet and thickly malt, the top is rich and full in its feel to the palate. Finish is a tad tart, the acidity moderate and the hops delightful in their spiciness and the aftertaste quire dry and lingering.

Beautifully dark in the glass, with a nice creamy head, this porter is amazing. I have a friend that makes homebrew similar to this and both are stunning. This was a beer with medium bitterness, and a hint of fruit and spice in it. A very graceful beer. Definitely worth a try.
