Bottle: Pours black, almost opaque. Aroma is burnt coffee, sweet chocolate malts, and dark chocolate. Flavor is smooth chocolate malt, roasted malt, higher carbonated than I expected. Almost a little on the bitter side for a porter.

On tap OBF 2008. Pours dark brown with a soft tan head. Big roasty porter, earthy, with burnt chocolate and espresso in the finish. Higher carbonation broke up the palate, but the roastiness still have a nice flavor even though it felt airy and a bit thin.

Re-rated from the tap at Bell’s. Black/ruby pour with a white head. Dark cocoa nose, with a balanced taste of cocoa and coffee. Much better the second time around. (3.7) Pours from the bottle with a thick head of tan foam laced with plenty of hops. Tastes awfully smokey, as if the roast were burnt, and has a consistency much closer to an ale than a porter. Sadly disappointing. (2.6)

Brown with tan head. Roasty, burnt aroma. Taste is similar with a bit of coffee and caramel sweetness coming into the picture. Pretty easy drinking, but kind of bland for a porter.

Bottle thanks to Alobar. Aroma of chocolate and roast. Taste is similar, with strong chocolate and toffee and coffee up front that fades into a medium coffee bitterness. Good mouthfeel. Good beer.

Courtesy of tpd975. Pours deep dark with tan head. The aroma is roasty malts to burnt malts that move into coffee and faint toffee notes. The taste is the same with roasted malts and burnt malts bleeding into a bit of coffee and some mild caramel. Very nice. Ends with malt sweetness and burnt malts on the palate going into the after taste.

Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of sweet maltiness and coffee. Tastes like it smells with hints of chocolate.
