Feb 15, 2007 Delicious rich porter. Full mouthfeel, chocolate and coffee flavors but what really stands out is the hops. Definitely more bitter than other porters. Stands out from the crowd. Very satisfying.

Feb 12, 2007 Draught sampler at Elysian Brewpub, Seattle. Dark ruby-brown with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, dry cocoa and a hint of smoke. Medium body. Nice flavour - roasty cocoa and coffee, with a bit of sourness in the finish. Very nice porter.

Jan 27, 2007 Pours a clear dark brown and has some toasty malt notes coming out right away.
This is thin but still has some roasted flavor.

Jan 18, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep, dark brown with garnet highlights and a thick, lacy tan head. Aroma of toasty barley with chocolate and just a hint of hops. Medium body with carbonation tending to the light end of the scale. Lots going on in the taste, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, caramel, smoke, maybe even some fruit? Espresso-dry finish. Nice!

Dec 30, 2006 12 oz bottle pours a black color with a frothy brown head. The aroma is rich and aromatic with notes of roasted grain, coffee, espresso, and dark chocolate. The taste is at first smooth, then it becomes a bit sharp as the carbonation hits my tongue. This beer tastes quite dry and the full roasted flavors cause it to drink even drier. This taste has notes of coffee. This beer is light on the palate. Much better than I was expecting.

Dec 29, 2006 Thank you SS! This bomber poured a very thick dark brown with a tight brown head, nice lacing. Toasted malts with coffee and vanilla and a spruce like hoppiness. Oh yeah, there is some smoke? I detect a lot of smoke. There is coffee and toasted malts. This is a light-medium body, easy to drink porter. The end is extremily dry with a slight hop-bitter tail. Nice, glad I got to try this.

Dec 24, 2006 A nose that is nothing spectacular...barley and a bit of roasted smokiness. A light head...but the coal black finish promises treasures awaiting. Tastes of roasted coffee toned barley with the merest hint of butternut vanilla, of all bloody things. The mouth comes alive with malts, hops, and the smooth warmth of alcohol. Damned good.-+++++++++++++++++++++++
