Terminus (1955), Illinois, USA Apr 10, 2004 tap at brewpub-week aroma of chocolate with slight burnt notes. thin meduim body with a fairly standard brown color going on. slightly better than the santa fe version, but still needs some work. MrRomero (1881), Wiesbaden-Biebrich, Germany Apr 10, 2004 Pours dark brown with a tan head. Light roasted malt flavor and mild hops with some coffee notes. Finishes a little sour. Pretty thin porter but decent. whaleman (2168), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 5, 2003 Dark burgundy-brown. Cigar-like smoky aroma plus some chocolate malt. Earthy flavor with light hops. A passable beer, but inferior to most porters. Some fruity sourness would have rounded this one off better. MMM...Beer (385), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jun 15, 2002 Not quite what I was looking for at the time I guess. The flavor was decent but little heavy on the cocoa. It also just didn’t play right on the palate.
