Jan 23, 2010 Bottle: Pours almost black, ruby edging, huge tan head. Aroma of caramel, black licorice and roasted malts. Flavour is heavy on the molasses with some harsh carbonation, the usual chocolate and coffee suspects. Ok.

Jan 17, 2010 Dark with small tan head. Typical porter aroma and better than average porter flavor. Thin mouthfeel, but a nice finish. Not my favorite style... but my wife likes them, so I try them.

Oct 30, 2009 Bomber from ditmier - thanks, Eric! Dark chocolate pour with mild sentiment and a huge fluffy tan head. Strong milk chocolate aroma, with an almost sea salt-like tang to it, like one of those completely awesome Vosges chocolate bars. Coffee and moderate hops in the flavor, a nicely roasted taste characterizing the whole, along with a smooth mouthfeel and moderately chalky finish. Solid as hell, would love to try this one on tap.

Oct 30, 2009 Beautiful pour, a deep dark brown almost black in color. Strong aromatics of dark chocolate, coffee, dark roast grains and sweet malt. Very little to no hop aroma, smooth and rounded bitterness that plays within the realm of a dark-coffee impression. The interplay between the dark-roasted malts and robust Columbus hop bitterness can be quite tricky to get right. The medium body is incredibly important to make this slightly filling but to also keep it from becoming a hollow-shell of a porter.

Oct 27, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, pine and light smoke. The flavor is roasted malt sweetness, with a smoke and hop bitterness. Medium body and average carbonation and a long roast and bitter finish. This is really nice, the hops really come through in the flavor and help to balance out the big malty body. I’ve had this before but don’t remember it being this good.
