Oct 23, 2009 Bottle pour.....wow, this is an impressive looking beer. Very dark, syrupy color, with a thin, tan head. Not as strong in the aroma as I expected, but with strong hints of dark caramel, and roasted heavy malts, some nutty roast also. Tastes are prominent in the front end....sort of a chocolatey, cooked coffee, smokey (almost tobacco like, kinda tastes like the smell of an old, smokey bar) flavors, again, very strong, roasted malt flavors. The tastes quickly dissipate and leave a slight reminder on the palate, prompting you to drink again, just to make sure you got the full effect. I like the effort made to produce this beer, it’s certainly filling and flavorful. I think I will open another.

Oct 22, 2009 Bottle. Very dark amber, near black, tan frothy head, strong lacing. Rich malt aroma, notes of chocolate. Wow this beer is malty - but in a good way - and is well balanced. Long dry finish, fairly bitter.

Oct 21, 2009 Serving: 22 oz. bottle.
Appearance: A clear black if you will, with garnet highlights and a foamy, light tan head. Good head retention and great lacing left behind.
Aroma: A vegetal nose with roasted notes, smoke, and a wee bit of chocolate.
Flavor: Very roasty but smooth on the tongue. A little nuttiness, a bit of mineral, and a light chocolate note. It could use a little more body.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a medium-short, slightly roasty finish.
Overall: A very sessionable ale that is reasonably tasty. Still, there is nothing so great as to bring me back to this one.

Oct 19, 2009 12oz bottle at Shellfish in Port Lavaca, TX. Pours dark brown with a thin, short lasting tanned head. Aroma is light of brown sugar, dark fruits and some nuts. Medium body with dark fruit and espresso coffee fill the mouth. Finish is medium. Taste like a good porter to me.
