Pours a very dark brown - almost black. Very slight head. Smell of chocolate and roasted coffee which was fantastic. The taste was brown malts with notes oc cocoa and slight espresso. This is a porter that I enjoy very much and have even gotten my wife to the point where this is her beer of choice.

dark brown with almost no head, smells like fresh nuts, very hoppy porter, quite refreshing at light without losing substance... a citrusy bitterness starts the taste and from there its hops and chocolate

Pours a dark brown with a 1/2 inch head. Aroma is roasty with some coffee and chocolate, but smells very lager-ish. Perhaps a little too much hop. Flavor is roasty, but the hop adds too much to that. Almost tastes slightly burnt. Not much else going on in the flavor department. Not a bad beer in the least, but not terribly far above average.

Dark chestnut body supports an attractive beige head. Aroma of chocolate, rolled oats, dark roast, and hops. Smooth medium body with some oatmeal softness. Taste has a nice bitter dark roast component complimented by notes of chocolate, oats, and fruity hops. Very nicely done and quite enjoyable.

Nice black pour from the bottle. A good head with some lacing. Strong hops presence with depth and maltiness that make this very satisfying. The first beer that I really liked and the reason I got interested in beer in the first place.
