Jun 12, 2008 12 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Last beer in the Iowa City apartment! Pours an almost pitch black pour, very opaque. Coca cola-esque substantial head that slowly dissipates. Aromas could be smelled across the room. Chocolate, molasses, coffee, and dark roasted malt notes. Initial taste is a smooth, chocolately brew with some lighter bitter coffee notes. Medium bodied (but lighter than expected) with a wonderful roasted mouthfeel. Balanced well with some milky/lactic sweetness undertones. Great beer and an only possible qualm would be a lighter body that expected. Wonderful.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle. Aromas of coffee and chocolate. Dark brown/black color with a decent tan head. Near full bodied with creamy carbonation. Indeed there is a smokey note to the malt. Coffee tends to dominate the finish. There seems to be hop bitter. A very good porter.

Jun 6, 2008 On cask at the brewery pours a brown color with slight tan head. Aroma is slight coffee and hops. Taste is thin with a smooth taste of chocolate malt and hops. Just an OK brew.

does not count  Jun 4, 2008 Nothing too special about this porter. Looks good with a dark treacle colored body but doesn’t pack a whole lot of flavor into it.

Jun 2, 2008 From a bottle Margaret picked up from Raleigh, NC--Poured a dark brown-black body with a medium whitish top. Nose of mild coffee, smoke, chocolate, and sweet malts and hops. Creamy and spicy at once, this beer is a delicious and highly quaffable porter. Finished roasty and nutty but over all just well-balanced. Yum!

Jun 1, 2008 Chocolate and coffee flavoring. This delicious beer reminds me why Bell’s is one of the best breweries in states.
