MrBeerFanatic (344), jamestown, New York, USA Oct 15, 2008
Pours a dark brown almost black with a slowly dissipating tan frothy head. Aromas of
sweet burnt malts, little caramel, chocolate, and hops. Flavors of light roasted malts,
caramel, hops, and a little chocolate. Semi sweet throughout. I liked the burnt malted taste
it leaves in the end. Pretty good for a porter but some of the flavors that should stick out
to make an excellent porter is what this one lacked. All around I thought it was pretty decent. blipp (1630), Newark, New Jersey, USA Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep brown with a tan head. Lightly roasted aroma with sweet caramel and a touch of hops. The flavor is a little smoky, which I love, and and also has notes of coffee, roast and floral hops. Nice. malrubius (969), Valley Stream, New York, USA Oct 4, 2008 22 ounce bottle split in pint glass. Dark brown/black with lasting tan head and lace. Roasted dark chocolate and chocolate chip cookie aroma. Rich roasted dark chocolate mild coffee hint of smoke mild dark fruit and medium bitterness. Medium body and medium low carbo. Excellent mouthfeel. Fairly complex. Lots of flavor for the abv. I like it. darn1207 (528), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Sep 30, 2008 on tap from elysian fields brewpub in seattle after a mariners game. dark brown pour with a medium to thick tan head. roasted malt and coffee aroma. bitter chocolate and quite a bit of roasted malt flavor. nice bitter finish.

Rich and robust, with a chocolaty smooth finish. Minimal hopping as to style. Long lasting roast chocolate aftertaste. Right on. cathcacr (586), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 17, 2008 A worthy representative of the style. Not great. Not average. Just a good liquid-candy refreshment.
