Nov 3, 2009 Dark, dark brown pour with a light tan head, moderately good retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet roasted grain, coffee, and a bit of chocolate. Flavors of coffee and roasted malt with a semi-dry, slightly smoky finish. A good beer overall, right on style-wise.

Nov 1, 2009 Bottle split with Dallas. Pours a dark pitch black body with small brown lacing. Aroma is nice roasty characteristics and chocolate. The taste roatsy and bitter - not as delicious as the aroma suggests.

Oct 31, 2009 500 ml. bottle. Shared with Gabe. Pours an exuberant mocha head, with some lacing, over a dark black/brown (SRM 38) slightly cloudy body.....nose is coffee, cocoa, some grain....taste is coffee, cocoa, with heavy bitterness....mouth feel is medium, carbonation high. The bitterness from the roasted malts was out of balance with the rest of the ingredients. I wonder if the bottle was off, given the descriptions of other reviewers.

Oct 31, 2009 TAP: very dark brown pour with reddish tones in the light. Small white head. Molasses on the nose, maybe some turpentine. Bitter cocoa taste, molasses, licorice. Good stuff.

Oct 28, 2009 Drank it with ghawener for dessert paired with Zebra ice cream. Delicious, silky and smooth mouthfeel, creamy, nice malt backbone, flavors of chocolate and coffee.

Oct 25, 2009 500ml bottle from grape & gourmet. pours a deep, dark brown, damn near black with a half-inch, dark khaki head and great lacing. aroma is excellent with big, roasted dark malts, coffee, bitter chocolate, dried black cherry, figs, and a touch of smoke. flavor is simply outstanding with pure dark chocolate covered cherries and fresh, roasted coffee up front backed by big, roasted malts, fresh roasted almonds, vanilla, dried figs, and ashy, smoked wood leaving a lingering, bittersweet roasted/smoked finish. palate is full bodied, rich, and slightly sticky with moderated carbonation. overall, this one hell of a good porter, best i’ve had to date, and a bit underrated in my humble opinion.
