Oct 7, 2009 Pours a nearly black brown with a thin beige head. Aroma is toasty malt and coffee. Flavor is bitter chocolate with some toffee sweetness. Bitter on the finish. Nice and balanced without being too sweet.

Oct 3, 2009 Good smoky aroma. A bit of a creamy character. Roasty and smoky, this is a fine porter. Not too sweet and a hint of grain.

Sep 30, 2009 bomber - well overdue for a proper rating; dark brown pour with foamy tan head; fresh oats and coffee roast; smooth, medium body; light caramel, dark fruit and roast with my obvious shortfall being the lack of sweetness; lots of oat though

Sep 28, 2009 Taste is sharp and crisp with coffee, roasted malt and earthy hops. The hop presence is surprising for a porter. Solid mouthfeel, full-bodied, smooth finish. Good beer.

Aug 27, 2009 The appearance is dark dark brown, nearly black. Big, pimply, rocky head. Tan rings of lace. Looks sloshy and not stagnant.
Dark, roasted mocha/coffee aromas. Raisin and dark grape. Unusual sweet candy flavor; really different and delicious.
The taste is smooth mocha and bittersweet cocoa. The sweetness manifests itself as a cherry, grape and dark raisin. Some sour cherry/grape too. Goes from bitter to sweet-n-sour.
The feel is chewy and creamy. Pretty smooth actually, for a porter. It’s a smooth ans sweetish porter. I like it a lot. Raisin + mocha + breakfast blend coffee.
