Sep 4, 2008 (Bottle). Chocolate and roast aroma. Near black color, tan head. Flavor is very roasty, full of malt and chocolate. Rather short finish. Pleasant beer.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottle from my trip to Vermont. Pours a dark black color with a small head. Aroma is fine of chocolate and molasses. But flavor is bitter, watery and almost tart. Too dry for me. Give me a Fullers Porter please!!!

Aug 14, 2008 bottle at the Flying Saucer in Charlotte. small tan head (mostly lasting) into black body. aromas of moderate bitter but sweet malts (some molasses). flavor is pretty much the same (moderately bittersweet throughout. did have a long, long, long finish duration and a creamy mouthfeel. enjoyable for what it was.

Jun 20, 2008 Draught @ Great Lost Bear. Rich black with slight red tint. Diacetyl abundant in nose, on background of black cherries. Low carbonation, soft mouthfeel. Not roasty, slightly sweet. Thin and watery and slightly sweet but still manages to retain a good malt character and so is more decent than it seemed at first.
