May 9, 2008 smells very good, like roasted malt and coffee. it also looks quite tasty and is an opaque brownish black with little to no head. there isn’t really much of a taste, it actually tastes a little like its been watered down. there is, however, a slight bitterness and roasted quality to the flavor that can be tasted after a couple sips. its fairly bitter and nicely astringent at the end. i’m satisfied with this brew.

Apr 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of light roasted malt and caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Good.

Apr 14, 2008 Overall an un eventful porter. Lacking a bit of everything, but very drinkable.

Feb 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear rubied brown with a thin and fading off-white head from an aggressive pour. It does produce a bit of lace. Light pine and roast notes in the nose. Light body and fine carbonation. A small dash of chocolate and some smoke in the taste. The texture goes a bit watery in the middle. Crisp and not too bitter finish. Seems a bit one-dimensional.
