Dec 30, 2009 Bottled. Thanks to gnoff.
Near black colour with rich pale beige head. Vanilla ice-cream in aroma with mint and sweet tar and chocolate. Mild smooth mouthfeel, with medium body. There’s milk chocolate, sweet tar and low-medium hoppiness. Tasty beer but really a mish-mash of flavours and not really outspoken, and really low on the toast malts.

Aug 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours a very deep ruby-brown with an average size diminishing creamy tan head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, nuts and a hint of smoke. Dry flavour of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, nuts, some hops and a light roasty/bitter finish. Medium bodied. A very good Porter!

Feb 5, 2007 12-oz. bottle. Pours black with a huge frothy dark brown head, mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, burnt, nutty), light hops (celery), average yeast (leather) with notes of tar and vanilla. Full bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation and a chalky finish. Long duration, light sweetness and acidity, moderate bitterness; heavy roasted malt flavor with tar, molasses and dark chocolate.

Jun 26, 2006 Pours a deep brown with some red hints when held to the light. Head was tan and foamy. Did a decent job at sustaining. Aroma of roasted malts, cocoa and a bit on the lighter side. Flavor of dark chocolate and coffee. Roasted malts and some light hop bitterness. A bit thin in the mouthfeel.

Feb 9, 2004 Deep dark brown color with minimal head. Roasted coffee and nice bitter hoppiness. Not usually a fan of dry stouts but this one I liked.

Jan 6, 2005 Bottle. Small tan smooth head that fully diminished, sparse lacing, fine-large sized bubbles, carbonation, opaque, and a dark brown hue. Aroma was roasty, coffee, malty, and some smokiness. Flavor was coffee, smokey, roasty, and malty. Tingly mouthfeel rather than a smooth one for this beer style. Just an average dry stout IMO.

Jul 12, 2004 Updated: Jul 14, 2004Pours just about pure black save for the dark brown edges. Small brown foamy head. Lovely aroma! Nice roasted malt nose with hints of coffee and milk chocolate. Some nuttiness as well. Just great! Taste is bittersweet with more roasted malt, some smoked wood, and cocoa. The palate is silky smooth and slides down easy. Bit oily as well. The remains are more bitter than expected and dominated by coffee. Finish was kind of a let down compared to the rest. Good beer, though.
