TheCheeseMan (505), Saint Cloud, Florida, USA Apr 6, 2008 Courtesy JMFG, know that. Pours a deep roasted brown, little if any head formation. Aroma is subtly smoked, with a roasted/herbal quality coming through. The flavor is harsh an acrid, the smoke is non-existant. The mouthfeel is a bit off putting.
lb4lb (1340), Austin, Texas, USA Aug 16, 2008 Pours a dark brown and lightly cloudiness from a bomber. Lasting beige head. Smell is lightly malty and subtle smoke as stated. Taste is a touch of roastiness. Flavor, aside from the light smokiness is a bit thin. Very light bodied, which detracts some. Thin light smoked beer like taste. Slightly below average but still definitely drinkable. Headbanger (958), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jul 27, 2008 22oz bottle-Pours a dark black body with a nice loose tan head. Aroma of smoke and coffee. Taste of the same with the smoke being more prominent on the back end. Fairly thin for a porter and was expecting more. Not bad. waolsen (950), Littleton, Colorado, USA Jul 13, 2008 bottle. black/brn with thin head. smokey coffee, roasted malt aroma. smooth and milky. light body. drjay44 (104), USA Jul 4, 2008 Dark, with tan head. Not much aroma, very light on the tongue, flavor too light. I did not care for it. Crosling (1628), Loveland, Colorado, USA Jun 29, 2008 Dark brown color with a white head that quickly diminishes into a small collar. Very faint aromatics overall, a very light touch of malt character (some smoke, and a very light hint of chocolate and roast. Thin bodied beer. Flavor is also very muted, with some light notes of rubber, a touch of smoke, some fruit and some roast. I was expecting more from such a high quality brewer.
