Apr 10, 2008 There’s a little bit of a schwarzbier-like malt, which I don’t like. But something about the little bit of hops mixed with some roasted/other malts is quite nice, especially resulting in solid finish. Still though, that schwarzbier-like malt plus a lactose taste are present throughout bringing down an otherwise exceptional porter.

Apr 10, 2008 Pours a very dark ruby with a very nice tan head. Nice lacing too. Some nice roasted toffee and coffee notes in the nose, but there also a bit of a metallic smell in there that I’m not very fond of. The flavor is really nice. Toffee, mild creamy coffee, milk chocolate and some smokey/roasted notes in support. The mouthefeel is a bit thin and over-carbonated, but not unbearable by any means. Very enjoyable beer.

Apr 2, 2008 (Bottled, 0.75l) Very dark ruby brown with a smallish, tanned, head. Sweetish, caramely malt, and lots of milk chocolate in the flavor, with slight roastiness and some lactic sourness. Roasted-malty flavor turns sweetish and caramely towards the end, with not much bitterness, but some lactic feel. Medium-bodied, slicky and slightly foamy-carbonated palate. Maybe a bit sweet and straightforward, but quite enjoyable still.

Mar 28, 2008 Burgundy-accented brown. Pruney, plummy nose with light cocoa accents. Soft toffee notes with a neat dark malt character. A little too fizzy...less would allow the fruit to come through more.

Mar 22, 2008 Dark brown with reddish hue, gorgeous lacing, enthusiastic head. Smell is oxidized, rusty. Palate is thin and slightly sticky at the end. Bland or subdued flavors, depending on how you look at it.

Mar 21, 2008 Tap at CityBeer. Very nice dark color with a nice creamy head. Greta aromas of chocloate and mocha, great flavors as well. Nice cocoa, chocloate and creaminess. A well done, interesting porter.
