Aug 12, 2007 Bottle-Solid black color with a small, tan head. The aroma had plenty of malt, coffee and chocolate. The taste was good and chewy with chocolate, coffee and caramel, pretty much want you would want from a porter. Carbonation was higher than average.

Aug 11, 2007 an interesting story on were this brew came from.
this is a fine porter black with hues of red when held up to the light, small tan head.
smells of cocoa and coffee, roasted grain and a hint of caramel.
good taste, not as strong as other porters, yet smooth and a bitter bitter, the taste of a mocha is there along with the malt.
nice beer, i would recommend this one.

Aug 10, 2007 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Bottle, poured black as night with a nice creamy head. Nose is sweet and rosey with other fruit notes, like a Belgian ale, with hints of molasses present. Taste is of coffee, cream, sugar, egg whites, milk. Thin, smooth, and a bit of a watery finish.

Aug 3, 2007 Poured a classic deep deep, yet clear, brown with one inch mocha head. The aroma is roasted malts, some dusty astringent malts, a hint of burnt malts, a hint of coffee, faint sweet caramelized malts and licorice. The flavor starts roasty with edges of burnt malts. As the carbonation crescendos coffee, licorice, sweet caramelized malts, vanilla and faint cream soda notes become turbulent across the palate. The finish has lingering roasty, burnt and coffee notes.

Jul 24, 2007 Very nice porter. Aroma is slightly vinous with hints of cocoa. The flavor is malty and not terribly heavy, quite pleasant. Could use a slightly thicker mouthfeel, but it is still a very good beer.

Jul 13, 2007 Updated: Dec 17, 2008Nearly opaque, dark brown with red highlights. Small head with a little ring that lasts and leaves some lace. Smells of wood smoke, graham crackers and cocoa; some faint sweetish gunmetal. Taste of smoky marshmallow creme mixed into a mocha cappuccino, with some some faint soured cream and tart fruit. Palate is mostly smooth, light-medium bodied and just chalky-dryish enough towards the end to hold up the outstanding malt flavors. Nice balancing act of a lot of flavors in this beer.
