Aug 9, 2007 Coffee aroma, with vanilla and chocolate. Pours almost black, dark brown on the edges. Great coffee flavor, chocolate and vanilla, light on the palate, very smooth and easy to drink! Thanks Fantomas

Nov 1, 2008 22oz bottle from Belmont Station. Black pour with a huge dark tan head of lacy cream. The aroma is rich chocolate and coffee. Not that pleasent of a mix. I’ve definitely tasted better blends of these two flavors. The tastes are actually much better. The twang goes away in the taste. It gets better the more I drink. It is appropriately lighter than a stout and easy to drink.

Oct 24, 2008 Thanks to Daknole for the taste at the the McBackus Backyard Bash 08. Pours a dark blackish red with a tan head. Huge coffee aroma with a dry bitterness. Taste is slightly thin, big coffee, dry and slightly astringent. Very bold coffee porter that has a great aroma, but kind of left a little to be desried on the taste.

Apr 26, 2009 Sampled at DLD 09. Brown pour with tan head. Nice coffee aroma. Flavor is more coffee, some chocolate, a bit nutty. Overall, pretty tasty, though not that awesome.

Jan 4, 2008 22 oz. bottle - pours thick and dark with quickly fading tan head; aromas of roasted malts mixed in with a grainy and hay like aroma; nice texture and creamy finish in what is a more ’robust’ porter; coffee influence is very subtle in both aromas and flavors, so in that sense it was slightly disappointing; yet this is a still a very delicious porter
