Although it didn’t taste like a porter, I liked it. It tasted more like a sweet stout. Sweet, and not watery-thin like I hate. Slight roastiness, but more sweet character. What I liked about it was that it wasn’t too watery, and had some solid body to it. Drinkable, and nicely malted with hints of roasted chocolate. Not too bad.

Dec 10, 2007 Pours a deep clear brown with a thin head- some lace. Aroma is toast caramel chocolate and light cardboard ox. Some light roaste, milk chocolate, paper and cardboard light sherry ox, with some milky lacto sourness. Dry without any body. Meh.

Oct 6, 2007 Draft sample at new brewpub. Poured dark brown color with a medium brown creamy head that mostly lasted and had good lacing. Moderate roasted coffe and chocolate malty aroma. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Medium balanced roasted flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

Apr 25, 2007 a near black liquid which refracts a ruby streak of light off the bottom of the glass. an attractive beige head sits atop leaving a bit of fine-bubbled lacing. lots of sweetened cocoa in the aroma along with some green earthy hops and the slightly astringent acidity of half-roasted (partly green/partly brown) coffee beans. the flavor is predictable from the aroma, but not quite as sweet as the aroma would indicate. dusty peaty finish which is a little bit of a plot twist at the end, making it an intriguing beer to drink. enjoyable.
