Bottle. Pours like a Coke with a quickly receding tan head. A bit watery, but good porter flavors here, albeit a bit heavy on the black patent malt.

Oct 2, 2008 Objectively speaking:
Another very well-brewed Butte Creek, but not quite striking a sensible chord.
I like:
Pillowy soft malt texture. Pleasant coffee nose avoids beaniness, but reaches toward fudgey and borderline caramel notes. Enough roastiness to keep the sweet kiss at bay. Pleasant hop background brings no acidity into the game. Light-medium bodied and very, very easy to drink.
I dislike:
Quickly departing head.

Sep 29, 2008 A little too carbonated. Black pour with a huge frothy head. The coffee aroma is very faint. Taste is dry and bland.

Sep 24, 2008 Picked up a single bottle at Pat-apostrophe-s Liquors in Porter, IN: This pours a clear reddish brown with a sort creamy tan head. It has a nose of lightly roasted malt, cocoa, and a nutty bitterness. The flavor is more chocolatey and also tastes of uncooked cookie dough. A bit thin, perhaps, but pretty decent.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle. Strong malt flavors. A good hop finish. A bit thin on the palate.

Sep 20, 2008 [1650-20080902] 12floz bottle. Lightly smoked roasted malt aroma with light vanilla wood notes and some mocha. Clear, dark brown red body with a small medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Roasted wood malt flavour has some smokiness and mocha characteristics. Medium-full body. Bonus for being organic, but a good one at that.
