Jan 2, 2004 Updated: Jun 6, 2007Excellent porter. Love the story behind the yeast. You can see through this rather light porter with red tints. I agree with Silphium that this has nice fruit undertones. There is a slightly sour note to the mouthfeel. Thin body, but still has enough compexity to keep me interested.

Dec 31, 2003 Pours deep red-brown, with little carbonation (minimal light tan head). Dark fruit, toast, and chocolate aroma. Rich, complex flavor was impressive: chocolate, tobacco and dark fruit with a nice roasty finish. Bitterness is minimal, allowing malt complexity to shine. Relatively thin body and also pretty flat. A solid, tasty porter.

Dec 27, 2003 Aroma is full of fresh crystal malts and milk chocolate and french roast coffee. Appearance is dark ruby with not much head and no lacing. Flavor is roasted and pretty watered down. The mouthfeel is watery and slightly dry and metallic. Overall this is a well balanced, decent porter, but leaves a little to be desired in the tail.

Dec 6, 2003 (Bottle) Pours a dark brown color with a medium head. Good flavored porter with a smooth finish and hints of coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt.

Dec 3, 2003 Updated: Apr 14, 2008Smokey black licorice aroma with some woody, hoppy tones. Wow... it smells like beer, and looks like beer, but I’d sweat it was water... hardly any taste, and no body whatsoever. Thin as hell, with very soft and subtle flavors of chocolate.

Dec 1, 2003 Very black with a moderate white small bubble head. Has a very dominate burnt skunk/english bitter aroma to it. Tastes like watered down chocolate with a small amount of garbage feel to it. Sounds bad, yet comes out pretty nice when all is combined. I can enjoy it, very refreshing for a porter. I like.

Nov 22, 2003 Dark brown to black with medium head and some noticeable lacing. Flavor was bitter chocolate and coffee with some roasted malt. Nice example of the style.

Nov 9, 2003 mmm unusual label story lets see how those 1825 yeasts hold up.
The beer pours a nice dark mahogany brown with a good sized tan head,,though it goes down pretty quick all in all a good looking beer.
I liked the aroma of this beer,,very roasted malts so very chocolaty..but yet fresh.
again nice taste very cocoa like in the first instance then a dark coffee flavour takes over,,theres a hint of bitterness at the end( hops)
Feels very comfortable on the tongue,,tasty!
A quite drinkable Porter..i liked it,,very nicelly done.
