Bottle. Pours dark brown/black with brown head. Malty flavors with coffee and chocolate notes. Finish is hearty, would go well on a winter night.

12oz bottle poured into a large tulip glass. BP pours black with a medium-sized brown head, much like a stout. The nose consists of coffee and smoke. The body is thick for a porter; it borders on a stout. It is creamy and smooth. Bitter flavors of coffee and chocolate dominate but are balanced with pepper and a light dairy flavor. This is a wonderful porter and I look forward to drinking the other five.

12 oz. bottle on 09/25/08. Aroma - Roasted malts, coffee, whiffs of chocolate, distant peppery spice. Appearance - Deep, ruby tinged brown pour under a tall, creamy beige head, spotty, stringy lace. Flavor - Burnt sugar lends some sweetness up front, bitter contributions from both dark roasty malt and some spicy, earthy hops are more prominent. Palate - Medium to full body and light carbonation combine in a pleasant chewiness with easy drinkability. Overall - A very nice porter with good balance and combination of flavors.

Bottle. Wonderful sessionable porter. Brown with a light tan fuzzy creamy head. On the nose, chocolate, roasty with honeyed touches. Yum. Chocolate, roasty, some nice malts, a touch acidic, light bitterness. Very light, good carbonation, smooth with a nice astringency to the finish. This is so solid.

Dark porter with a head that doesn’t end till the last drop! Got it a little too cool, let it sit. Nice malt and coffee flavors with a hint of chocolate. Mouthfeel firmed up as it warmed. Nice mild bittering on back end.

A dark porter, full of flavor. This stuff has a chocolate coffee thing going on. Deep and malty, very drinkable....I highly recommend.

12ox - Chocolate and smoke on nose, very little carbonation but not flat. Cucumber on palate with a bitter finish. This really lacks the structure of a porter, but its a refreshing ale for sure.
