May 20, 2008 Bottle. Scent of maltiness and chocolate, with a hint of smoke. Lighter bodied porter, flavors of coffee and malty sweetness with a relatively clean finish. Lighter than I would have liked, but it is serviceable.

May 14, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is semi-sweet chocolate and a hint of bitter coffee. Body is a bit thin. Flavor is more smoked than the aroma with a bit of coffee. Not bad.

May 8, 2008 Pours a near opaque black with an off-white head that dissipates quickly. Not a very complex aroma mostly getting plum, black cherry and a hint of dry roasted grain. ... wait it’s warming up... caramel, raisin, mmmm I could go on. Ok so it smells great. Tastes fantastic too. Not heavy on the mouthfeel and there’s a lively carbonation that excites the palate. At 5ABV this is a great session beer. Oops! So good I forgot to rate it... HEE HEE

Apr 29, 2008 Serviceable porter. I find it hard to understand why this is listed as retired as its available and their standard porter. Pours a handsome black with lots of white soapy head. Porter coffee aroma. Medium or less mouthfeel,e asy drinkability, with licorice and coffee grounds and nuttiness in there. Significant roast.

Apr 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown almost black with almost no head. Malty, roasted, chocolatey aroma. Tasted like a porter should, a bit sweet with lots of roastedness. A bit thin of the palate.
