Pours a very dark brown with a tall and thick light brown head. Fantastic aroma of coffee and sweet roasted caramel malts. Mouth feel is very smooth and creamy. The initial taste is very sweet, a little bit of nutty chocolate. The finish is a lightly caramelized coffee bean. Very delicious aftertaste to a well balanced beer.

Jul 21, 2008 Delicious. Tried this one after a disappointing left hand milk stout. Full, rich, slightly acidic. Chocolate, smoke, and a bit of bitter fruit is present throughout. Slightly harsh, and a surprising amount of hop for a porter. Overall, a wonderful brew. If it ever costs less than $11 a bottle, I’ll buy more.

Jul 17, 2008 Smells and taste like it has oatmeal in it, which is OK. Dry palate. Didn’t get much fruity flavors Without a doubt a good solid porter but I was expecting more. Got another bottle so maybe that one will floor me.

Jul 16, 2008 Pretty good. Roasted malt flavor with more chocolate than usual, not very sweet which was good. Dryer taste than most porters I have had. Very drinkable. Did not taste any alcohol. Nice bitter finish. Surprisingly light bodied for the dark color and alcohol content.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle. Black pour with ruby hightlights. Slowly diminishing tan head. Aroma displays malts — roasted grain, chocolate, nuts and a hint of hops, particuarly pine. Hints of chocolate and coffee. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. However, it finishes up moderately bitter and moderately acidic and leaves hints of smoked peat and roasted malts. Wonderful creamy texture and medium body. Lively carbonation. Smooth, clean, nicely bittered porter with pleasant, somewhat complex aroma and lots of flavor.
