Very thick, chewy porter with lots of roast malt and coffee flavor. The only thing keeping this from being higher is it feels a bit unbalanced on the roasted end--but still a unique porter.

Aug 25, 2008 Black, a little cloudy, with great lacing. Tastes Guinness-like with chocolate, coffee, smoke. Creamy and characterful, long finish, tons of flavour. Really nice.

Aug 11, 2008 Black with a full tan head that became a ring. This beer offers well roasted malt. In my opinion it was over roasted and overpowered the coffee and chocolate. I love a good porter but this went over the top.

Jul 18, 2008 Growler courtesy of Pepsican. Big roasted malt aroma, light tart notes, chocolate and coffee. The body is full on black and holds a thinnish tan head. The first sip is all bitter black chocolate and roasted/burnt malt flavors. Coffee, espresso even, is also very prominent. The finish is intensely coffee/dark chocolate accented with some off-putting ashy notes. On the whole a fairly robust porter that has more roasted accents than the norm.

May 18, 2008 Full bodied, black porter, lots of roasted coffee aromas. Dark brown head smelled hoppy, and it had a very malty aroma. the finish was long and dry on the palate.
