COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A deep ruby red, a rich malt flavor and a creamy head hopped just enough to compliment the bittersweet chocolate note.

Drjohnrock (288) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - SEP 15, 2012
Draft sample at brewpub on July 14, 2012. Almost opaque brown/ruby hue, moderate roasted malt aroma, body a bit thin, good bittersweet flavor with chocolate notes. Not the richest or biggest porter around but not bad at all.

Had this with the Downtown Grill & Brewery sampler. It was very enjoyable. Had a good flavor and wasn’t overpowering.

AlabastorJones (800) - San Francisco, California, USA - JUN 14, 2009
looks like it should, big thick mouthfeel, oaty, tastes like it may have spent some time in a bourbon barrlel, though the bourbon flavor is very mild and could go unnoticed, oaky vanilla flavors, red wine flavors, an interesting porter

Butters (3321) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - JAN 20, 2009
Stopped in after the Xmas Eve^3 at tronraner’s. Clear dark brown pour with reddish chestnut highlights and wispy tan head. Roasty nose with a hint of coffee. Grainy coffee flavor and toasted with some form of hop bitterness in the finish. Nothing special.

nqualls (1452) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - JAN 19, 2009
On tap at the brewpub. Poured a dark black color with a thin tan head. The aroma was chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor was coffee, and roasted malt, with a bit of a bitter finish. This was just an average porter. The body was a little thin, but the flavor was ok.
