Dark brown. Lots of coffee, with some chocolate and a hit of vanilla. Good medium mouthfeel.

WBF sample. Pours a dark black with a one finger creamy tan head. The nose is coffee, roasty, grainy, some bitter chocolate. The flavor is roasty, grainy, some chocolate/coffee, strange peanut shell flavor. The palate is a bit thin, roasty.

Sample from Raleigh WBF. Dark brown pour with small light brown ale. Light coffee and roasty chocolate notes. Unremarkable, but not bad.

En fût. Verre de dégustation directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur de café avec une pointe chocolatée. Apparence: La couleur est brune-noirâtre. Présence d’un mince col beige mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de café avec une pointe de chocolat et de caramel. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement onctueuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de café en arrière goût. (Rating #2255)

Medium-dark brown. Nice chocolate nose with light nuts. Smooth, chocolate taste. Full body. Nice bit of toast dries out the finish a bit.

Nearly opaque black-brown. Slight diacetyl in aroma and also slight huskiness. Some chocolate. Low carbonation. Rich roasted chocolate malt lingers on the tongue. Coffee flavors predominate but the huskiness detracts.

Decent porter, but another boring beer from mooon river. Not watery, which was nice, but not creamy and full bodied either. Lightly dry taste and finish. Light coffee and nut taste. Could have used something else in the taste.

From a sampler on 10/25/08. Dark in appearance. Cocoa and coffee aroma. Taste was of roast malt and cocoa with a touch of bitterness. One of their better offerings.
