Aug 26, 2008 Black color with a good tan colored head. Smells of roast, burnt malts, coffee, and chocolate. Taste is a good roasted malt flavor, some darker malts, and coffee at the back of the mouth. Good beer.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark, dark brown with a super thin tan head. You can hear the fizziness as the carbonation releases. Very rich super malty aroma of milk chocolate and roasted malts. Flavor has a strong roast character with a bitter dark chocolate and cofffee finish. Very nice, this is not over powering but the flavors are all vibrant. Full creamy feel.

Aug 22, 2008 Pours opaque black with a mocha colored, dense head that struggles out of solution.
The inch-tall foam sank slowly, leaving behind a thick wall of clingy lace. Traces of mahogany luminescence around the edges.
Aromatics start off with dark chocolate, espresso, roasted malts, and cocoa.
Brownie batter and a hint of nougat follow through.
Full bodied, thick and chewy, with a very creamy mouthfeel.
Bitter chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, and brownie bits lead off the pallet. A drying acridity follows through along with some warming alcohol.
Finishes with burnt brownie ends, bitter chocolate, and lingering roast.
Tasting like something between a big Imperial Porter and a small Imperial Stout.

Aug 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of mibirder. Thanks Sean! slightly viscous nearly black pour with a dark brown 1-finger head. Aroma of roasted malts, bitter coffee, chocolate and toffee. Taste is a big blast of coffee followed by bitter roasted malt. Some hop bitterness and an almost lactic sweetness in the finish. Medium bodied. Very pleasant.

Aug 19, 2008 12 oz bottle: poured black with zero head after an aggressive pour. Chocolate and a little coffee in the aroma. Chocolate and coffee in the flavor also with a big blast of coffee bitterness in the finish. Can’t say I like it or enjoyed it for that matter.

Aug 11, 2008 Super dark brown coloured body with a very thin tan head. About 80-90% opaque with a very viscous look. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavour with strong oatmeal, good coffee and a very potent chocolate taste. Aftertaste shows a lot of caramel and roasted sugars with some malt and even a touch of hops. Overall, a very nice and refreshing beer! If this is truly a porter, it’s more of a baltic porter than anything else. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased recently (03-August-2008) at Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan, sampled a few days later on 10-August-2008.
