amcinern99 (1), lyndhurst, New Jersey, USA does not count Jan 16, 2002 Volgon (2462), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Dec 31, 2001 I liked everything about this beer. Smokey and rich, almost creamy. egajdzis (3013), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 24, 2004 Poured very dark brown, but when held to a light it appeared mahogany with a large light tan head and awesome lacing. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, wood dust, and some burnt fruits as well. Lots of chocolate and coffee, some nuts as well in the taste. Nicely sweetened, the chocolate really stands out. Mouthfeel was almost perfect. An awesome porter, I am glad I picked this one up! tomwhysy (5), USA does not count May 25, 2008 goes down better than coffe at 7 in the morning it will definetly afect my attidude for rest of a day there is noting like good start JCW (1262), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Apr 29, 2004 Okay I loved this one, although it skates on the line between a porter and stout. Too dark for a porter, almost black, slight tan head. Roast aroma is slightly dominate with the chocolate aroma very close again stout like. Flavor is sweet with ever so slight sourness. Thin body which is fine for a porter. If this is porter/stout it is one of my favorites, although it woulcn’t cut it as an IMP Stout. Thanks so much, OldGrowth
