May 12, 2009 Pours a characteristic almost black with small dark tan head. Aroma obvious of coffee, chocolate, and a bit of cream. Flavor matches with the addition of dark dried fruits, but missing that complexity I was hoping for in this. Nice drink nonetheless.

May 11, 2009 On tap at the Bier Stein. Dark brown pour with a thick cap of tan foam. Big chocolate and coffee aroma, a little bit of hop at the back. Flavor is very roasty, with some nice chocolate bits and a bitter chocolate finish. Medium bodied and delicious.

Apr 30, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a thick tan head, of good duration, minimal lacing, over a dark (SRM 30) clear body.....Nose heavy with aromas of roasted malts, with coffee, cocoa, chocolate, mild molasses, minimal hop floral....tastes of rich malts, again with coffee cocoa, finishing with mild hop bitterness....mouth feel rich and chewy.....a wonderful brown porter. Meets the BJCP criteria in every way.

Apr 29, 2009 Bottle. Dark dark brown with a medium tan head that sticks around for a bit. Tons of roasty toasty malt in the aroma, in the form of coffee, chocolate, whatever else you want that smells nice. Flavor has a lot of the coffee with a good chocolaty finish, complemented nicely by a small bite of hops at the end. The only criticism I have is that I wish the body were just a bit thicker. Then again, though, it’s a porter, not a stout. Great beer, anyways.

Apr 29, 2009 Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Amazing aroma of coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, molasses, and a little hop character. Flavor is similar. Not over the top and extremely well blended. A nice porter.

Apr 27, 2009 Smells sweet and roasty. Pours with great head and dark with a lot of light at the seams. Tastes roasty and creamy. A decent stout but lacks some complexity.

Apr 21, 2009 Milldly roasty milk chocolate aroma, chewy coffee chocolate taste, nice soft creamy body. Used to love this and it is still very good.

Apr 20, 2009 Pours black with a medium tan head. Strong aroma of french roast coffee, some dark chocolate. Flavor is mostly coffee, malt, dark chocolate, toasty. Finish is a nice chocolate bitterness. Medium body and carbonation. Would be great with a chocolate desert or cookies.
