blipp (724), Grand Island, New York, USA Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Roasted aroma, a bit of coffee and smoke. Flavor again has coffee and smoke with a bit of vanilla. Long finish with smoky and roasted bitterness. Haslinger (524), Syracuse, New York, USA Jul 23, 2008 on tap at the Empire State Brew Fest in Syracuse. Lots of roasted malt present in this one. Creamy mouthfeel that leaves your mouth coated and wanting another sip. Decent porter but not my favorite.

Aroma of roasted malt, cocoa, toasted malt, vanilla notes, Flavor of cocoa, roasted malt, sour cherries, some vanilla and some coffee/caramel. scottw86 (102), New York, USA Nov 12, 2007 A very smooth porter. Not as flavorful as guinness, but very similar tasting. I didn’t find it very watery, and the color was a solid black. The roasted malts are the best part of this tasty porter.
