UPDATED: JUL 16, 2008 Bottle. Batch 147. Dark red/black. Light brown head lasting a couple of minutes. Roasted aroma dominated by coffee and fruit. Medium bitterness. Not so full bodied as you expect a porter. Dry, fruity aftertaste - leaving a taste of chocolate and coffee. KI=6

Pour is black with light reddish highlights and a small thin tan head...smell is nicely strongly chocolate with nice roasty syrup notes too...sweet and chocolately flavor with some sweet coffee in the finish...seems a tad bit overly sweet, but delightful none the less...
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
16.9oz bottle. On point stuff. The aroma is spot on, chocolate and roasted malt scents all the way. Deep opaque black color. The malt character just shines with this beer. Super well-balanced and full bodied porter, while remaining completely drinkable. Chewy and big, one of the best porters out there.

2007 bottle. Poured jet black with thin tan head. Smelled of smoky and dark chocolate, and taste starts bitter chocolate and moves into sweeter with the dark fruit. Very good porter!

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
16.9oz bottle, no date. Black with brown edges and a 1/2 finger fading brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, earth, ash, lactose, and light molasses. Flavor is ashy and smoky with deeply roasted malts, moderate bitterness, light alcohol, anise, a bit of raisins and an ashy roasted malt finish. Low carbonation with a creamy medium body. Pretty good--for once I haven’t been let down by these guys.
