swirl (267), collingswood, New Jersey, USA Apr 17, 2005 A beautiful black coloring with a tan head. The aroma showed a lot of bittersweet chocolate, while the flavor was all coffee. This beer had a great finish and definately proved to be my favorite. mkobes (2045), paramus, New Jersey, USA Sep 12, 2004 Tap at the brewpub. Brown with a diminishing head. Ok. Vanilla porter was much better. Nice roasty aroma. Malty. Full bodied. Enjoyable. MaiBockAddict (1499), Good Beer Bar Deprived, New Jersey, USA Sep 11, 2004 Tap at the brewpub. Brown with a diminishing tan head. Roasty, fruity aroma. Roasty carmel flavor, and a slight tart finish.This is a basic average porter, and not quite as bad as what the previous rater says. tsarman (794), Northern, New Jersey, USA Aug 17, 2004 I had to bump up the overall impression cause I love this place. Unfortunately, I did not love this beer. Newly brewed in July, this is a very harsh and painful to drink porter. Now I know what Palate actually means. It felt too astringent and painful in the mouth to enjoy. If given the option, try their sully oatmeal stout instead. Steer clear.
