Jul 27, 2008 (Sampled 7-14-08 at brewery) Black in appearance, small aroma of heavily roasted malt, some lacing. Hits the mouth with a medium body, very light for the style- it almost feels like an ale on the tongue, some stickiness but not enough to go crazy about, finish runs thin and has mild bitter sweetness to it.

Jun 25, 2008 On tap. Pours dark brown with a fair head. The aroma is roasty with defined espresso, though it seems to be on the lighter side. A good amount of roast and bitterness are found in the flavor and a sweetness that reminds me of truffles. Faint, crisp charred notes are found along with hints at vanilla, coffee, Whoppers. The whole thing seems more English in attitude and is quite tasteful.

May 25, 2008 On tap at Brownings brew pub. Dark brown with a thin white head. Aroma of smoked wood, caramel, mild coffee. Taste of smoke, mild caramel and roasted malts. Thin and creamy, a touch too carbonated and has a metallic aftertaste.

Mar 12, 2008 Pours near black with reddish hues and a mostly receding tan head. Aroma of chocolate, bread dough, light roast, toffee, and a strange papery note. Taste is grainy roast, a bit cola like with some toffee. Medium bodied,but thin for a porter. Stingy carbonation. Flavors are a bit muddied, but not a bad beer.

May 21, 2007 As a big fan of porters, I was disappointed in this one. Had on draft at the brewpub. Poured a dark brown with nice brown head. Could smell the toasted mals and coffe. Taste was more of the same. Nothing really stood out in the taste to make me want to go back and have it again.
