Sep 10, 2007 this was not as good as I thought it was going to be. It looked really good but didn’t come through with it’s rpomise. Nice body and tan head - just didn’t have that deep palate and roasted malt flavor I’d expect form a porter.

Sep 2, 2007 Updated: Mar 29, 2008I tried this several times over the course of a week. Each time I had a slightly different impression. Overall, I didn’t find the beer all that special, all though it’s a solid porter. Average malt w/ notes of molasses and coffee; average hops; medium body

lots of roasted aroma, rich malt flavor, lots of hop bitterness, touch of smokey roasted character, still not porterish

Aug 28, 2007 Updated: Jan 6, 200812oz bottle sans batch number. Pours a cola brown with a small, light tan head. Aroma is very sweet, beery, a lot of dark fruits, and smoke. Significant smoke. Nutty. Not completely pleasant and certainly does not have the aromatic characteristics I like in a porter. Flavor is better. Slight roast, a nudge of chocolate with a quick finish. Small amount of fruit in the taste. Medium bodied, just heavy enough for me not to complain that it’s too light-bodied. Drinkability is high. Uniqueness is low. A bit of a let down.

Aug 26, 2007 Bottle, thanks to after4ever. Pours opaque blackish brown with a substantial beige head. Coffee aroma. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nutty chocolate taste with a piney bitterness behind it.

Aug 26, 2007 Bottle. This has all the normal characteristics of a good porter. Dark color. Strong codffee/malt aromas and flavors. Not the best but well worth a drink.
