4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a silky black with a kakhi head. Smells like dark chocolate and coffee. Taste is smooth coffee mostly, with lots of smokey malts, some chocolate, and a sweet finish that excites your sweet tooth and makes you want more. I would score it higher if it had a fuler body, but once you get used to it, you notice its a bit on the watery side.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark ruby pour with light tan head fading fast. Nose of roasted malt, chocolate, some malt richness and evident american hop aroma. In the right mood it could slightly remind you of an IBA. The taste brings out more chocolate and some smooth coffee beans. some bitterness. Medium to medium-full body. low carbonation makes it an easy drinker. A nice porter.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Pours dark brown with a creamy, tan head. Malty aroma, with faint roast character. Flavor is sweet and malty, with molasses and some chocolate. Medium in body, perhaps a little thin, with average carbonation. Finished with mild roast and malty sweetness. Pretty good.

Had the 12 oz bottle. Has a decent chocalate aroma though I could detect the molasses. Pours a dark brown with a light brown head.looks good. Has a real lite chocalate taste. Nuts and molasses are also there. The taste feels like they played it safe. Medium mouthfeel with a little warming ability. A decent brew that has the potential to be slot better
