Dec 14, 2008 On tap at Lunar Brewing. Black/brown, cloudy pour, with a light tan, mostly diminishing head, but leaves plenty of coating lace. Chocolate, light coffee, a bit of smoke and wood, and a touch of sweetness, maybe molasses and caramel in the aroma. These notes follow to the flavor in a lesser degree with some nice hop bitterness. The body is light to medium and the texture is creamy

Dec 1, 2008 Poured from 12 oz bottle into pint glass.
Aroma - Not much to go on. A faint milky chocolate aroma
Appearance - Daaaark brown with tinges of red. Big tan head. Nice lacing.
Flavor - Chocolate and roasted malt with notes of chocolate.
Palate - Heavy mouthfeel with nice carbonation. The balance of malt and hops make it finish very nicely.
Overall - I would have to add this to my list of favorite porters. Nothing objectionable about this at all. For an American version of a British ale, this one is spot-on!

Nov 29, 2008 A clear, almost black colored beer, with a huge, foamy beige head. The aroma of chocolate with coffee and dark malts. The taste of a little chocolate, with dark malts and some fruits like raisins. The aftertaste is a lttle sweet chocolate, malty a little bitter and dry. When the beer gets warmer, there are notes of smoked and it’s more fruity.

Nov 27, 2008 bottle - Pours very dark brown with a tan head. It has a roast chocolate malt aroma. The flavor is a solid blend of dark roast malt and lightly bitter hops. It’s medium bodied and overall an enjoyable porter.
