Nov 28, 2007 The last 4-pack on the shelf at Vieux Carre liquor store in New Orleans. Covered in dust, with a clearly water-damaged box, I bought them with skepticism (see my Breckenridge APA rating and you’ll know why). My suspicions were justified-- all were off but one but one! Pours a deep mahogany with a thin brown pad of a head. Rich aroma of bitter chocolate, cocoa, and ash. Oily mouthfeel, chocolate, leather, wet wood, and a little smokiness in the finish. I really wish I could have brought the other 3 bottles back with me, as this was a real treat.

Nov 9, 2007 Dusty bottle of the shelf of the local Binny’s when they were remodeling. Poured a brown hued dark red with a light brown head, laced little. Sweet chocolatey aroma. Roast coffee and toffee flavors on this thin, slightly oily, and mildly bitter brew. Quaffable.

Nov 1, 2007 Bottle. Nose is all chocolate with minimal notes of coffee and caramal. Deep amber-brown, cola like dark color with ruby hues. Patchy white head with tight bubbles around the edges. Good flavor but very thin.

Oct 29, 2007 12 oz. Mild aroma of chocolate, very little beige head. Flavor is lots of black coffee with some licorice. Feels very thin and wet around mouth. Finishes with burnt roasted malt. A really great porter, but I’m not the biggest porter fan.

Oct 24, 2007 11.2oz bottle, no date. Clear deep garnet with a 1 1/2 finger light beige head, pretty decent retention. English aroma of chocolate malts, rich sweet caramel almost to the point of being toffee, lactose, and a bit of sweet raisins. Flavor is much the same with raisin and lactose sweetness and dry char being dominant--the char especially in the finish. Light carbonation with a light body. Very good porter.

Oct 15, 2007 Hey guys....Just because this is not an IMPERIAL stout with 8-12% alcohol does not mean that it does not deserve nearly perfect scores. This is a damn near perfect porter. 2nd to Synebrychoff Porter from Finland.
