Dec 6, 2009 Pours a dark black. Minimal head, light tan in color. No lacing. Aroma strong of roasted malts and coffee. Chocolaty flavor with bitter coffee finish. Definitely needs to be served on the warm side. Silky smooth mouth feel,. Carbonation stings a bit. Overall, not a bad beer. Mouth feel a little odd and throws it off.

Dec 6, 2009 Tap at the Mayflower campsite BCTC 09. Pours a nice deep amber-brown with a good sticky head. Aroma is fresh nutty, toast, good fresh chocolate malt, light roast, some grassy and herbal hops and a bready yeast/maltiness. Flavor is sharp bittersweet chocolate, but fresh malts all around and nicely hopped- malt forward and clean finish. Pretty solid porter.

Nov 6, 2009 Scored this 12oz bottle via trade. Pours a opaque, sorta thick black that had a nice mahogany red around the edges with a creamy, slighty off white head. Aroma is fairly average, sweet, caramel, dough, maybe a bit of vanilla. Flavor is nice, starts with all those toasted malts, nuts, dark chocolate, coffee and ends with some sweetness, milk chocolate, caramel, brown sugar. Finish has a lingering toastiness that is pleasant and warming.

Nov 5, 2009 This is a pretty decent effort. Nose of light coffee, chocolate and maple syrup. Nice balanced brew restrained in a good way, with nice intermingling or roasted malt and just enough hop bite. Soft. A nice surprise, thanks holdwine.
