Feb 28, 2009 12 oz. bottle at Union Jack, Arlington VA. Yum, maybe the best porter I’ve had. Very dark and rich, with strong notes of coffee and other roasted niceties. Sweetish but classy finish.

Feb 28, 2009 On cask at Dilly Deli. Opaque black with a small tan head. Nice roasted malt aroma with a bit of chocolate and coffee. Fantastic lingering smokiness with flavors of roasted malts, chocolate, and a hint of bitter hops. Very smooth and light-bodied palate lets you enjoy the subtleties of this beer. An excellent porter.

Feb 27, 2009 Draft at International Beer Garten (Lutz, FL). Pours a clear dark reddish brown color with an ample tan head. Aroma is dominated by roasted malts and coffee. Nice, smooth flavor of coffee followed by bittersweet chocolate and a slight smokiness in a tasty bitter finish. A very enjoyable porter.

Feb 24, 2009 Bottle. Poured a large, foamy, light brown, lasting head. Clear, dark brown body with a slight reddish hue. Mildly malty nose, with a pronounced roasted coffee aroma. The roasted coffee flavor is prevalent in the taste and is accompanied by faint toffee notes and a bit of campfire smokiness. Some bitter chocolate undertones are also present and become a more pronounced towards the finish. A slight, pleasant burnt flavor lingers briefly. An overall clean finish thanks to a nice balance of bittering hops. Some of the roastiness hangs around after the malty sweetness has been cleaned off. No complaining here. The body is medium, with a nice, light creamy mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Nothing overbearing. Overall a well done porter that I’d never turn down and often request.

Feb 22, 2009 Mild aroma of roasted malts, with a hint of chocolate and coffee. Pours a clear dark ruby, with a thin, tan head. Silky mouthfeel, with a flavor that is full of roasted malts, hints of chocolate and smoke in the finish. Not my favorite style, but a very drinkable beer.
