Dark brown hue with an average sized tan head. Notes and flavors of chocolate, roasted coffee, smoke and metal. Medium to light bodied. Decent but average. Kind of an off flavor in there as well.

Sep 29, 2008 12oz bottle poured into a large tulip glass. BP pours black with a medium-sized brown head, much like a stout. The nose consists of coffee and smoke. The body is thick for a porter; it borders on a stout. It is creamy and smooth. Bitter flavors of coffee and chocolate dominate but are balanced with pepper and a light dairy flavor. This is a wonderful porter and I look forward to drinking the other five.

Sep 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 09/25/08. Aroma - Roasted malts, coffee, whiffs of chocolate, distant peppery spice. Appearance - Deep, ruby tinged brown pour under a tall, creamy beige head, spotty, stringy lace. Flavor - Burnt sugar lends some sweetness up front, bitter contributions from both dark roasty malt and some spicy, earthy hops are more prominent. Palate - Medium to full body and light carbonation combine in a pleasant chewiness with easy drinkability. Overall - A very nice porter with good balance and combination of flavors.
