Apr 8, 2007 Tap. Pours dark, dark brown some light manages to poke through, with a smallish beige colored head. Roasted malts, some coffee, hints of chocolate dominate the aroma. Flavor is just like the aroma. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finishes bitter. Rock solid.

Apr 6, 2007 12 oz bottle, courtesy of StompBrockmore - pours dark brown, not black, with a small tan head that dissipates rather quickly, and there are some suspended yeast particles as well.. Aroma very roasty and sweet, chocolatey and vinous. Yum. Flavour has a full roasted malt quality which imparts flavours of cocoa and coffee. Smooth and creamy in the mouth, and robust as well. The floating yeast contributes a light breadiness which nicely offsets the thick darkness. Faint notes of smoke in the finish, along with a lactic sweetness. Excellent plain porter done very, very well.

Apr 1, 2007 Bottle. Off-white head, creamy, average head (mostly lasting). Very impressive lacing. Black body. Aromas of chocolate, caramel, toasted malts, and some smoke. Flavor is initially lioght bitter and finishes moderately bitter. Watery texture, Lively carbonation. Long duratin of flavor. Light to medium bodied. This porter was good but a bit weaker than I would have liked.

Mar 28, 2007 Pours brown with a frothy mocha head. Smells of roasted coffee and tastes much the same but with a smoother sweetness. It is nice and creamy as well.

Mar 20, 2007 Updated: Sep 9, 2008Very nice example of the porter style. Poured with a great dark tan head that lasted. Roasty, with hints of chocolate and coffee. Nicely balanced, easily drinkable. Good, but nothing to really seperate it from a lot of others. Could be a little thicker, but overall, a solid porter.
