bottle: pours a darf brown with a cocoa coloured head that leaves a bubbly film on top. aroma of chocolate a hint of coffee and a caramel malt. flavour is smooth and silky with chocolate, caramel malt and some nuttiness. goes down very well and could be a great session dark.

Bottled on 8-24-06. Notes from a 1-29-07 rating. A good porter, not as complex as Sierry Nevada’s. The first taste is sweet roasted/nutty/caramel malts. The finish is of mild coffee. The body is a little on the thin side, I was hopeing for a little fuller mouthfeel.

Mmm. Good smooth porter. Aroma of caramel and chocolate. Taste is of the same, a little bitter. Not much of a finish, but a thick beer that goes down well after a meal.

Very nice porter. Nice dark caramel color with a thick amber head. Subtle malt aroma. Smooth drink with a very nice finish. Not an overpowering aftertaste.

Pouring an opaque black, the nose that barely hints at malt does not do the palate justice. Tipping the brew back delivers nicely blended chocolate/caramel malts with a soupcon of barley lurking far in the background. A very pleasing, and surprisingly refreshing, porter.

A great brew that sadly you can’t get down here,thanks to my wife for picking me up a six pack from indiana. Pours a deep mahogany, almost black, with a bubbly brown head. Nose is somewhat dull with hints of caramel and burnt toast. Flavor is full and complex, with a very clean finish, onderful for the style. If this brew had just a touch more roasted flavor, it would be the best porter ever, it is still among the best. This is a great overall brew.

Nice dark brown color with a light head.. plenty of coffee and burnt malt in the aroma Tastes like burnt coffee with plenty of malts and a good bitter finish...
