Jan 17, 2008 16.9 oz. bottle. Pours very dark brown, nearly black, with a thin, dense, tan head that lasted for about a quarter of the glass. Very pleasant aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and just a little bit of coffee. The flavor was equally nice with roasted malt, chocolate and a bit of coffee all present once again. Just the right amount of bitterness at the finish. As the beer warms, a bit of soy sauce also emerges in the flavor profile. This beer is the textbook definition of what a porter should be. Excellent stuff.

Jan 14, 2008 Black with a beige bubbly head. The aroma is earthy and smokey. The flavour is also smokey, dry with roasted coffee and chocolate flavours that are nice but not very assertive. Firm to medium body.

Jan 12, 2008 Yes, the reviewers of ratebeer got this one right. Everything about this exceptional beer is perfect. Color, lacing, aroma, body, balance. While some may say the body is a bit thin this only allows the drinker to enjoy more of this excellent beer.

Jan 11, 2008 Pours a pitch black with a foamy beige head. Aroma of rosted malts dark chocolate and coffee. Taste very similar to aroma with malty dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Creamy and smooth up front with a dry bitter finish.
vyvvy (2023), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
Jan 9, 2008 Pours very dark brown with a crimson hue and a good sized tannish head. The aroma with creamy roasted malt, milk chocolate, cream and some coffee bitterness. Medium / full body that gets a little thinner towards the finish with semi-sharp carbonation. Starts with some coffee bitterness, dark chocolate and roasted malt. The finish gets sharper with more pronounced bitterness. Good beer.
