Pours nearly black with a tall frothy off-white head. Aroma is a complex sweet, slightly roasted malt, with a little coffee.. The complexity comes from a mix of fruity and chocolaty scents. Flavor has a little sour fruity quality almost like a Belgian. Mixed in with this is some light chocolate. The finish is dry and leaves a lingering tart aftertaste.

Jul 23, 2008 Pours from the bottle with a thick head of tan foam laced with plenty of hops. Tastes awfully smokey, as if the roast were burnt, and has a consistency much closer to an ale than a porter. Sadly disappointing.

Jul 20, 2008 Brown with tan head. Roasty, burnt aroma. Taste is similar with a bit of coffee and caramel sweetness coming into the picture. Pretty easy drinking, but kind of bland for a porter.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle thanks to Alobar. Aroma of chocolate and roast. Taste is similar, with strong chocolate and toffee and coffee up front that fades into a medium coffee bitterness. Good mouthfeel. Good beer.

Jul 16, 2008 Courtesy of tpd975. Pours deep dark with tan head. The aroma is roasty malts to burnt malts that move into coffee and faint toffee notes. The taste is the same with roasted malts and burnt malts bleeding into a bit of coffee and some mild caramel. Very nice. Ends with malt sweetness and burnt malts on the palate going into the after taste.
