smith4498 (709), Miami, Florida, USA Jul 3, 2009 Draft @ Vine & Barley. Pours dark brown with tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Roasty flavor with some chocolate tate to it. Dry and slightly bitter finish. Medium body with average carbonation. Blaze312 (87), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Jun 29, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a brown color with a small tan head. Aroma is very roasted. Taste is similar you can def pick out the roasted malts with this one. Nice taste all around. BrianHagmeier (213), Coralville, Iowa, USA Jun 28, 2009 A great beer with a little smoke to it and a lot of malt flavor. Very nicely balanced. juiceisloose (530), Windermere, Florida, USA Jun 24, 2009 This one pours a dark brown color with a small, tan colored head that settles to some thin lace around the glass. The nose shows dark chocolate, toasted caramel, and a good amount of coffee roast. The flavor follows with the roasted coffee up front followed by the caramel and dark chocolate. Some vanilla cream smoothes things as some earthy hops lend bittertness on the back end. Medium plus on the body with good carbonation and a roasted chocolate finish. This is a nice, easy drinking porter. Cybercat (655), Georgia, USA Jun 15, 2009 Pours a dark, barely transparent Coca-Cola brown with a decent but not too persistent beige head. Aroma is smoky with hints of coffee yeast and unsweetened chocolate. Mouth-filling flavor is much like the aroma, mainly smoky with some malt and tones of coffee and chocolate, no sweetness. Texture is lively and smooth, leaving a refreshing and lip-smacking finish. dnlsartin (55), Lakeland, Florida, USA Jun 9, 2009 Dark pour with a nice creamy head. Molasses, coffee, prunes, and a hint of oak. Good character, but a little watery overall. thejon375 (363), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 3, 2009 Pours a dark brown/ opaque black with thin white head. Smells of choc coffee and tastes similar. Nice clean smooth texture and good finish. drpimento (674), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA May 31, 2009 mmmmmm, yummmm, good porter. Poured with a tan, foamy, frothy, creamy, textured head and a little lace. Color is a very dark mahogoney with cherry highlights. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, malt, a little toastiness, and a hint of dark ripe fruit such as dates or prunes. Flavor’s about the same. Great body; nice and creamy not too much so. Very good finish. Session beer for sure.
