Jun 24, 2005 Aroma: smoke, dark malts, dirt/earthiness, tobacco, some mustiness, and old milk
Appearance: very dark brown, tan head, some lacing
Flavor: cigarette ashtray taste, some cream, some semi-sweet chocolate, some tree bark, earthiness, smokiness
Palate: smooth, slight bubbly, some smokey semi-sweet chocolate aftertaste
Overall: not a bad beer, the ashtray flavor is not very appealing though.

Jun 1, 2006 a bit too bitter in flavor for me. it’s pretty close to a weaker imperial stout. beautiful elegent appearance. aroma is pretty terrific, but the taste is just a bit too bitter and empty (otherwise) for me.

Opaque pitch black, no head. Heavy roasted, coffeish malty nose. Flat mouthfeel. Dark chocolaty, coffee beans flavor. Roasted aftertaste. Nice, balanced mouthfeel. This is really chocolaty and coffeish without being too roasted or burned. Not alcoholic at all. Delicious.

Nov 2, 2005 Dark black pour with tan head that kind of lingers for awhile. Aroma big on roasted malt, chocolate, as well as coffee and caramel. Flavor lets the hop presence in a bit, but mostly the big roast and chocolate seem to stick to the taste buds. Rock solid entry from Dark Horse.

Jul 1, 2005 thanks to Heemer77 for the bottle. looks like used motor oil as I pour this bad boy into my glass. aromas and flavors of deep, dark roasted malt, dark molasses, coffee and a bitter, not quite bittersweet, finish. medium mouthfeel, yet it coats the tongue with the bitter roasted coffee finish. not quite sweet enough for my taste but still a very well done porter.
