Mar 15, 2008 An above-average though not exceptional porter that is smooth, I can drink this all day - which I did. A tad of smoke, good malts yet bitterness secondary that worked a long meal like a wine should.

Feb 21, 2008 Black with a fleeting tan head. Rich aroma of malty cocoa and roasted nuts. Medium bodied and very smooth. A rich taste mirrors the aroma with cocoa, roasted nuts and mocha coffee. One of the best porters i’ve had in years. 3237

Feb 19, 2008 22 oz. bomber. Pours a very dark, chocolate brown, with a quickly disappearing tan head. Soma faint hints of dark chocolate malt aroma. Tastes of toasty chocolate malt and oily resins. Not much hop bitterness, which is fine. Tastes a little "washed-out" in the middle, almost a tad watery. Sort of bland for a porter.

Jan 30, 2008 Dark brown in colour, light-brown coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is lightly smoky, some sweetness, some roast. The flavour is sweet, mildly roasty, a bit musty, gingerbread. Lightly chalky mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a very light roast and lightly bitter. Weird for sure, the lack of a larger body doesn’t help. Too thin.

Jan 7, 2008 [886-20071201] 1pt6floz (Xmas Party 2007, beerhugger & guests). Fruity malt candy apple caramel aroma has weird gourd and smoke hints. Dark dark brown red body with a medium-lasting foamy light tan head. More gourdy notes in the flavour with smokey roasted coffee malt. Medium-full body seems a little thin. Nice.

Dec 31, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is thin and grapey with some chocolate raisin and vegetal notes. Tastes like burnt maple sugars, coffee, and licorice. The palate thins out quite significantly.
Tasted in December 2007. Thanks tiggmtl.

Dec 23, 2007 great black pour, good sized brownish head. Wonderful dark roasted malt aroma, with a mix of coffee, and a touch of chocolate. flavour is complex. Great rosted malty, smokey flavour. A great coffee finish. A touch of bitterness in the end, a nice smokey coating in my mouth, GREAT porter.
