Draft. Very dark brown, brown edge head. Aroma of vanilla, espresso, cocoa. Taste is dark milk chocolate, vanilla, oak. Very nice.

Tap. Pours deep, dark brown with thick, frothy tan head; good retention and spare lacing. Aroma is roasted and caramel malt, chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, earthy hops, and light toffee. Flavor is malt dominate with some supporting hops and dark fruit esters; dry finish. Medium body, carbonation, and warmth.

Draft. Poured black color with a medium frothy brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy roasted coffee and alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with sticky texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy roasted bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. This is a standout beer.

Tap: Dark chocolatey brown with a fluffy tan head. Interesting aroma of malts and pepper. Full bodied which flavors of coffee, malt balls and a pepper essence in the aftertaste. Nice full finish. Tasty!

On tap, served in an imperial pint glass. Had this while eating lunch outside at the Dilly Cafe on a nice warm spring day with my grandma. Might not exactly be the appropriate setting for this kind of brew, but I had never had it before, so I wanted to try it. Black color. Nice thin lighter brown head, leaving good lace. Very nice creamy texture, big body. Light, soft carbonation. Very nice satisfying chocolate aroma. Nice sweet and bitter roasty taste. Actually was tasty to enjoy with the club sandwich I had.

Poured at the Big Texas Beer Festival. Dark pour with a brown head. Aroma is coffee, green spices, and light roast. Taste is a little peppery, roasted, coffee, and very bitter.

On tap at Big Texas Beer Fest. Pours black with tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark roasted grain and dark chocolate with a faint hint of chipotle??? Flavor is much the same. Medium-heavy body with medium carbonation. Overall, not bad!

(draught) near black pour with a very creamy medium tan head and excellent lacing. Nose of rich coffee, toasted coconut, medium chocolate syrup, and some dark fruit hiding. Taste of rich coffee with cream, mild acidity in a good way, dark chocolate, just the least bit of smoked chile pepper. An awesomely delicious beer.

(Draught) Pours an opaque black body with a small brown head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, toasted coconut, roasted malt, and raisins. Flavor of coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malt, nuts, and subtle dried dark fruits. The chocolate really comes out in this coffee porter.

On tap at the common table. Pours a black with a thin tan head. The aromas are chocolate, coffee, vanilla. The mouthfeel is bitter and dry with a heavy body and light carbonation. Cheers!
