Jul 28, 2007 Updated: Jul 30, 2007Brown- black with a small lasting head. Aroma is spicy chocolate molasses with a sour-metallic tinge. Flavor is initially bittersweet chocolate with sour cream, turning to chicory coffee with smoky marshmallows. Palate is medium-bodied and smooth with a nice acidic tingle.

Jul 27, 2007 Cola brown-black pour, almost opaque, with a tan head that diminishes to ring lace. Nose is of lightly roasted bittersweet chocolate. Nicely put together, dry roasts, dark chocolate, light smoke and slight bitters. The finish continues the bitters/smoke aspect, but done so dryly, with some dark fruits coming through on the aftereffects. Nice play on the palate, exposing complexities in dry brews. Feels creamy with zesty carbo levels; easily drinkable. Good job.

Jul 27, 2007 Good aroma of Malt, caramel and chocolate. Poured a brown sparkling,
Large, tan, fizzy head that stayed a long time, became frothy after a while, left light lacing, Wonderful flavor of roasted malt, slight caramel and then a lot of rich chocolate. Starts roasted malt, then a slight bitterness, then touch of caramel then lots of sweet rich chocolate. Excellent flavor! A light body with a creamy smooth texture, finish is an abrupt chocolate sweet with a slight touch of very pleasing and very light bitterness.
Now, I could drink quite a few of this Porter, for it is a definite pleasure to drink. I will definitely buy this again and add to my favorite rotation of brews. Great job by Bell’s. Was served in a Stein.

Jul 23, 2007 Bottle. Cola color with a decent tan head. Light aroma of malt, coffee, and chocolate. Flavor is the same, a bit heavier on the chocolate. Watery mouthfeel. Hugely ordinary, but not bad.

Jul 19, 2007 Pours a dark brown/amber with a creamy tan head. Surprisingly good lacing with this bad boy. Big cocoa malt aroma. Much thicker than I was expecting for some unknown reason. Roasted malt, chocolate and hazelnut taste. Good brew, yet again by a phenomenal brewery.
