UPDATED: JUL 12, 2003 Pours a very drak black with amber lining, rather than the typical red hue of the style. Lots of BIG floaties. Aroma is definite coffee, chocolate, and caramel malts. Is that fruit esters I taste? A bit thin for the style. Very good.

Dark brown color, tan head. The nose is light coffee, but the selling point is the nice fresh roasty start is gets; a touch of fruit as well. The body is coffeeish and lightly spritzy with a slightly candyish roast aspect in the middle. The finish has some light hops but unfortunately dries up and ends up being quite thin. At times the mouthfeel was somewhat chalky which wasn't helping any. A nice porter, but somewhat thin and lacking.

Draft at the Grey Lodge in Philly. Nice solid porter. Had a nice robust roasty smell to it.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 17/20
Roasty/toasty chocolate malts dominate. It's a rather malty beer, and you've got to give credit to FF Brewing for not skimping on the ingredients here. The hop content is somewhat light to moderate, so don't expect a bitter porter. Very nice.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very chocolaty aroma upon cracking open. Gigantic head that filled the entire glass upon pouring only half an ounze in. Thats an understatment - this head is out of control! Chocolaty start roasted end. Hoppy dry finish. Carbonation level is a little on the high side - for a second I can trick myself in to thinking I am drinking Coke.

UPDATED: APR 13, 2004 Very heavy beer. Can taste hints of chocolate and coffee. Drink slowly, it fills you up!
