dark ruby red, good tan head, light lace, slightly sweet chocolate malt aroma, rich chocolate malt flavor, like a melted hearshy’s bar in a glass, just a slight hint of sweetness in the finish that turns to malt bitterness as it warms

Feb 22, 2007 Holy crap, I finally found it! On tap in Portland...when the guy said they had a porter i was puzzled and i couldn’t remember ever having it. Turns out I hadn’t. This beer is actually really a yummy porter. Pours a dark brown with hints of red. Very smokey, malty, and just delicous. Nice full body and coffee flavors. Get this beer if you see it at grittys!

Dark red-brown with a tan ring and wisps. Sweet coffee aroma. Smokey and sour malt flavour with some dark malt bitterness combined to make a flavour that I really didn’t like that much. Medium body and medium carbonation.

May 2, 2004 On cask NERAX ’04: Clear ruby color, roasted coffee and chocolate notes. Full bodied, starts off slightly sweet and ends a bit sweeter. Tasted a bit stale, but was good anyway.
