Jan 30, 2006 Bottle: Courtesy of DarkElf via trade. Coffee and roasted grain aroma with a touch of dark chocolate and caramel. Pours a dark brown with some red hilights when held to the light. Big tan head with very good retention. Quick initial roasted grain is instantly taken over by a huge roasted coffee with hints of dark chocolate in the finish. Light acidity in the finish as well.

Apr 17, 2007 Courtesy of puzzl. Thank you, sir. At first the aroma is a touch dusty, but that clears up and cocoa, coffee and chocolate stand out along with some mild roasted malt notes. The body is black and holds a firm and lasting mocha colored head. The first sip seems a bit thin, but the flavor is fairly nice witht he expected coffee/esspresso and chocolate notes and a restrained toasted/roasted malt presence. Gets a touch earthy/dusty again (like the aroma) in the finish, but overall a very pleasant brew.

May 15, 2006 22 oz bottle, via BA timmcd64. Pours a deep dark brown, almost black, with a firm creamy dark brown head. Excellent retention on the head, and no sediment noted in bottle. Aroma is bursting with roast, chocolate malt, French roast coffee, and some dark fruits. Just a hint of caramel as well. Flavor is a balance between roast, coffee, and sweet chocolate. Finish has some dusty cocoa, lightly bitter hops, and cold coffee. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly oily in texture with moderate carbonation. Overall, a very nice Porter, and very drinkable. I could have gone for a little heftier body, but the coffee was spot on.

Jul 17, 2006 RBSG 06. Huge amounts of roasted coffee beans in the nose. Very dry mouthfeel, surprisingly light, with straight coffee notes throughout. Enjoyable, but frustratingly one-dimensional.
