Poured dark brown with a hint of ruby in color and a large, tan head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Slightly sparkling. Ok lacing. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of cocoa, coffee, cream, sugar, and roasting. Medium body. Chalky texture. Average to lively carbonation. Sweet, cocoa and sugar finish is a bit dry.

Jul 25, 2008 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX.
Pours a clear Brown/Amber with beige head. Aroma of slight dark roast and light chocolate. Flavor has some dark roast and a little chocolate as well. Where this beer died was mouthfeel, just did not have the body, seemed very light for this beer, ruined the overall expieriance. Overall, I think I paid too much for this porter.

Jul 3, 2008 750ml caged and corked bottle from Wilderness Wines in Rangely. Pours a dark brown body with a couple inches of slowly-dissipating rocky light tan head. Smells roasty, chocolatey, earthy, and slightly fruity. Tastes very roasty, with coffee and chocolate notes, nuttiness, with some caramel molasses, and hints of licorice. Flavors are very well-balanced, complex, and somewhat subtle. Medium bodied with a fair bit of carbonation. This a solid example of the style for sure, very tasty, drinkable, and enjoyable. Having said that, it’s unfortunately an occasional treat at the price.
