I shared this one with MIBRomeo. The appearance was a dark mahogany with a frothy, milky, thick head with good lacing. The aroma is of coffee, dark chocolate, and grapefruit. The palate is thick and creamy with a full mouthfeel with good carbonation. The flavor is of coffee and chocolate.

very dark w/ a touch of red in it. a thick head that disapated w/ large bubbles and laces well. a light scent on a porter w/ a hint of roasted malts and light hops. the palate is highly carbonated w/ a medium body. flavor is a dry chocolate w/ a hint of weak malts and a slightly sweet finish. overall it’s an ok beer but nothing special
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 brewblackhole (1581) - Muskego, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 3, 2004
Very light malt aroma, could never tell its a porter by smelling it, a simple light slightly roasted malt taste, with not much happening otherwise It’s like a light schwarzbier
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Drew (2411) - Kent, Ohio, USA - JUL 15, 2004
Dark brown with a thin tan head and good lacing. Chocolate malts, lightly roasted, some sourness at tht finish. This porter is a bit of a let down after tasting the coffee porter they brewed for Ed’s Cantina.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 DavidP (1745) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 9, 2004
Black body with a smattering of tan bubbles on top. The aroma has dry chocolate and grain. I’d consider the flavor to be sort of light in that there’s a dry chocolate roast that’s sort of cut down the middle with a sugar-sweet caramel. The finish is pretty sweet, I get some cane sugar with a slight touch of bitterness.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 fuyajo (229) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAR 25, 2004
Malty aroma, little head. Initial flavor but it rapidly fades to nothing. Slightly sweet, roasted finish. Overall, a pretty bland porter. The Estes Park Winter Warlock beer is 10 times better!
