Pours very dark with a light tan head that does not disapate quickly. Smells of a slight hint of chocolate but cannot smell the coffee. This is really quite smooth and not half bad for a porter

Sep 5, 2008 At the tasting session by Joes. A dark red/brown colored beer, with a small beige head. An aroma of dark fruits like prune, dates and raisins. The taste of dark roasted malts, dried dark fruits. It’s dry bitter. The aftertaste is also dry bitter. A very good beer.

Sep 2, 2008 On tap @ Maproom. Solid Porter! Dark, almost black, but with some ruby around the edges. Nice white head, an excellent contrast. Smell was very pleasing. The taste was great. Chochlates, coffee, and all around goodness.

Aug 22, 2008 Pours dark mahogany with amber hues on the edges. A half-inch head of beige had moderate retention and smears of lacework lasted throughout.
Roasted coffee, dark malts, caramel, nougat, and oreo shells fill the nose. Very clean and balanced, with a high level of complexity for a porter.
Fullish bodied, shy of thick. A happy medium between chewy and ordinary. Creamy.
Roasted malt, coffee, bitter chocolate, and an underlying fruit note lead off the pallet.
A firm, drying bitterness follows through along with brownie bits and biscuits.
Finishes with lingering bitter chocolate, and fading cookie crumbs.
Nice job on this one, very quaffable without being boring.
