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.

Black with a tan head. Roasted malt chocolate and coffee in the aroma and flavor. Absolute dry finish that doesn’t linger. Outstanding

12oz bottle-pours a big rich light brown head and black color with red tint. Aroma is mild dark malt-chocolate/molasses. Taste is roasty, dark malt-chocolate/molasses, nice secondary hops bite, some acidity. OK carbonation.

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.
