Apr 15, 2004 Bottle- Great beer first and foremost. Dark body with off white head. Aromas are fruity and somewhat smokey. Spicy as well. Taste is subtly sweet, and fruity. Bruised apples? Interesting. I really like this beer. Had it at Joey Capps a while back, but have since had a chance to rerate.

Apr 13, 2004 Bottle: Poured a dark, but not completely black as expected, colored beer with a nice huge head with good retention. Aroma is mix of sweetness resembling port and some alcohol. Carbonation is good and body is quite thin with what I usually expect from a porter. Taste is light roastiness and coffee and more malts then expected. Overall, this is a very unusual porter but a very enjoyable beer.

Apr 12, 2004 From the bottle and damn fine too. Dark and soft and deep as a treacle mine. Beers like this make life living. Sweet with cream toffee and stuff and fruit. Yes.

Apr 1, 2004 Relatively pale brown with a huge mountainous rocky light brown head. Big sniff full of chocolate, earthy nuances (almost sausage salty/smoky at times). Dry in mouth, more chocolate, slightly vinous peaks, dark fruits which are hard to identify, but I,'ll go with grapes/currant/apricot as it was vinous. Asertive bitter finish. Less carbonated texture than I thought from the visual, thin-medium bodied. Well made although maybe a tad too citric tart which is a characteristic I seem to have difficulties with when combined with any serious roastiness. I so want to try their IPA. Cheers Todd!

Mar 4, 2004 Cloudy brown,large slightly rocky beige head.Winey fruity nose.Intitially nothing, then some light malt with a strange bitter end. None of the sourness noted by others is evident.This really isn't a Porter.
I don't care for this, but thanks Cap!!!

Mar 4, 2004 (500ml bottle, best by May 04) Cola body topped by creamy, medium beige head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, some vinous, faint anise. Taste is earthy, vinous, some sour, finishing slightly burnt/roasty. Light/medium body. Nice example of a more traditional porter.

Feb 17, 2004 Bottle. Nice pour, dark, but not completely black colour. Slight coffee like aroma. Thin, sweet taste. Certainly strikes you as unique and a different example of the style, but very difficult to explain exactly why.

Feb 15, 2004 Hazy dark brown, small lasting light brown head; stays small, but stays all the way down. Lactic aroma of berries. Sour barnyard flavour backed by some roasted malts, this isn't typical for a porter, but I like it. This recedes to a short bitter finish. Creamy palate, medium body. I like the label and bottle too. Unusual, but nice. Bottle.
