Feb 17, 2009 Pours dark mahogany with a 2-3 finger fluffy reddish tan head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee beans, caramel, lots of roast, toasted grain, grainy malt, a light herbal quality and a touch of smokey char. Flavor is roast, milk chocolate, toasted grain, honey, and light coffee to start. In the middle I find the chocolate qualities becoming more subtle but bitter at the same time adding some dark burnt sugar, this allows the roast and herbal hops to shine, leading into a roast, coffee and char finish. Palate is medium and slightly sticky throughout. Really good stuff.

Feb 13, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a black opaque color with a half finger high off white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of a little bit of roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate, but is kind of boring. Tastes of roasted coffee beans basically, with subtle chocolate, but it goes down smooth and taste is better than the smell. Overall a good porter.

Jan 25, 2009 Nearly opaque dark brown body with a lasting tan head. Aroma of chicolate,coffee and cream, and a touch of smoke. Medium palate with a surprising amount of carbonation. Big malty flavor with the chocolate and coffee evident right away. Smooth finish with a slightly bitter coffee aftertaste. A delicious porter.
