phishpond417 (1110), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 4, 2008 A tolerable brew at best. Pours a dark black colour with a small tan head. Taste was very chocolatey, coffee beans and toffee. Sweet caramel aroma. Mouthfeel is creamy, finishes with subtle hops taste. SHANER4 (181), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Mar 11, 2008 12 oz. bottle... Poured black with thin head. Aroma is smokey chocolate and slightly nutty. Taste is rich chocolate with also a smokey almond flavor. Overall a really good porter and to think this brewery is only a 1/2 hour from my house. I must have had a newer bottle because the label has improved. jj21 (82), Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, USA Feb 4, 2008 First off, Oconto Falls needs to hire somebody for their labeling.
As for the beer, pours a thin black liquid with a trace of head and no lacing. I’m starting to think I got bad bottles. Smells and tastes awful. Like old coffee poured into an ashtray. Again, as with the others I’ve tried from them, there is an unpleasant mineral aftertaste.
On second thought, forget about improving the labels, focus on the beers. As bad as my reviews were, I do see some promise and havn’t written them off...yet.
prosqtor (392), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Jan 23, 2008 Starts out decent -- pours dark and cola-like in a glass, with a nice head. Aroma is smoky and roasted coffee. Flavor starts nice but there is an absolutely unacceptable lemony flavor at the end. Ruins the whole damn thing. Cornfield (4245), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA Nov 2, 2007 The bottle I poured from had a much nicer label than the one shown here. This beer is a thick nearly black, dark brown ale with a slender tan head that lingers none too long. It’s got an aroma of roasted and burnt dark malts along with some bittersweet chocolate. Some old coffee and a sharp bitterness round the drink out nicely. Kind of a dry, smokey finish. Okay. <font size=-4> Three Cellars, Franklin, WI<font size=-1>
