Jul 30, 2008 This is a great porter. Good lacing and dark appearance. Chocolate and mocha flavors with mild fruitiness. Mouthfeel is decent but not a strong point but overall one of the best porters I’ve. Doesn’t top Olfabrikken but it’s in that realm. Would like to try again.

Jul 29, 2008 aroma is of dark fruit with a bit of alcohol. taste is more booze with loads of chocolate, some vanilla, and just a slight hint of roast as this warms, this blends into almos a bourbon character. not bad at all.

Jul 29, 2008 Poured from bottle an opaque dark brown/black with a very large frothy mocha foam that fades slowly leaving nice lacing rings. Aroma is bitter chocolaty with a sweet-tart black cherry and a touch of dusty yeast. Flavor is bitter chocolate, a little coffee, lightly charred grain with a very soft bittering and some tart black plum with lightly sweetened syrup. The palate is nice, having an initial sweetness moving into a soft powdery bitterness and a mild tartness. Not a huge malty mouthfull but well balanced. I found the alcohol to be hardly noticible. Overall, a winner. I would love to drink more.

Jul 21, 2008 Fresh from the brewery in Frederick MD- Poured a black coffee with nice foam ruddy tan head & lacing. Mild Coffee, chocolate, roasted aroma quality with this carrying into the pallet. It has some mellow bitterness which evens it out, giving it a pleasant taste.
The malt fills the pallet, relaxing. Picked up a growler of this even though I live about an hour and forty five away from the brewery!

Jul 20, 2008 Aroma of burnt coffee and chocolate. Pours black with a thin brown head, awesome bottle design is a plus and great for my collection. Flavor is smoky, roasted black coffee, chocolate, not too strong liquor. Easy on the palate for this dark of a beer...leaves that nice smoky, warm feel on the tounge. Overall this beer has great flavor and easy to drink for being so dark..."Good Beer, No Shit."

Jul 20, 2008 Very nice brew. Poured black with a nice brown foamy head. Chocolate and espresso aromas dominate up front. Nice burnt coffee taste, with a oily feel in the mouth. Nice bitter finish. Would drink again.
