A clear dark brown colored beer, with a thick beige foamed head. The aroma of dark fruits like prune and cherry, dark mals. The taste is dry bitter, smoked malt with fruits like cherries. It is a little bit thin. The after tast is a little bitter.

Bottle from sampler. Pours dark brown with nice frothy head. Good lacing. Aroma was of sweet plum, toasted chocolate, and roasted malt. Upon tasting, I swear I went through the whole bottle not getting a good impression of this beer. I guess that says something. Body is too light for my liking. Flavor leaned sweet, with some apparent hop character.

Clear brown look with a small brown head. The aroma is roasted with notes of chocolate and toasted bread. Flavor is sweet malty with some standard beer bitterness. Light bodied, especiallly for a porter.

Bottle from Booze Bros. in Reno, NV. Poured a dark brown with almost no head. Tasted of coffee with toasted malts. A little on the thin side, but all in all a prettty good brew.

From a 12 oz bottle pours a dark brown - not quite black with a thin head that did not linger - minimal lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, malts and toffee. Tasted a smokey hop with chocolate, some caramel as well as the hints of toffee. Seemed a little thinner and more carbonated than some other higher quality porters I have enjoyed. A decent beer. The label was the best part - got a chuckle from that.

Bottle at Claus’ b-day. Pours a dark brown wita a tanned head. Quite sweet and malty. Some aromas of roasted malts and some coffee and chocolate. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Dry finish with more aromas of roasted malts. Kinda boring. Could easily do with a bit more ’omph’.

Colour is deep ruby red with off-white head. Coffee and rich chocolate on the aroma, with coffee firstly in the taste then the chocolate and a hint of burnt notes. Not quite medium body, fairly smooth and easy enough to have a session on.
