Jul 29, 2008 Not much aroma. Tons of head; dark brown and quite roasty, a little malty. I found this to be pretty enjoyable, drinkable. A great finish.

Jun 5, 2008 Thanks Tim baby! Good dark color with a shallow head but very retentive. Decent lacing. Aromas of baked brownies and dark cocoa, nice. Medium nectar w/ good carbonation. A moderate roast component delivers roasted coffee bean and dark cocoa flavors. Brownie bread, vanilla, and a nice snappy hop profile add to the complexities. The finish bitters up nicely while the flavors linger. This is a nice beer.

Aug 8, 2008 From a 12 oz bottle purchased locally from Trader Joe’s. Aroma is dark chocolate with a little molasses and maybe some licorice. Color is a brown/deep ruby red with a small tan head that laces nicely. Flavor is toasty fairly dry with the bitterness balancing the malt. Not too much roast character. Not too heavy. Finish is dry and toasty. A pretty good, easy drinking porter.

Jan 7, 2008 Poter purchased at Trader Joes. I saw one of their beers online and the store is close by so I went and checked it out. You can make your own six pack and prices are pretty good. This beer poured almost black with decent lacing. The head was tannish. Very roasty taste to start off with and a chocolate & caramel slight bitter finish. Clean carbonation with a kinda dry finish. Decent beer!
