bottle, aroma is a little coffee with some anise. Decent taste totally black in color. Lots of roasted malt flavor, good but not great, probably would not buy again

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Pours a clear mahogany with a creamy off-white head. The nose is a nice blend of cocoa, coffee and roasted malt. Light bodied, thin and slick with a moderately bitter and mildly astringent finish. The flavor begins with bitter chocolate, coffee and roastiness backed by a quick hit of earthy/herbal hops in support, finishing with a lingering, roasty, hoppy aftertaste. This is a solid, quaffable brew, but I think it would be improved if they toned back the hop profile. It’s a rare porter that can pull off a significant hop contribution to the flavor profile. This one is borderline.

does not count  Jun 29, 2008 Another success from Otter Creek. Amazing savory palate as a result of a heavy malty flavor. Another one of my Otter Creek favorites, freshest out of a growler.
...This beer makes me feel like being on Jamesville beach on a cool summer day, except someone has stolen your watermelon and you forgot your flipflops. The sand is not conducive to walking.

Jun 16, 2008 good porter here. Heavily toasted and roasted aromas which is a good thing. Poured a nice deep black/brown wit a decent enough head on it. Not overly creamy texture but the flavor and aroma were good enough for sure.

Jun 15, 2008 Dark brown. Roasted malt aroma and flavor, standard in that regard, but this has a palate that makes it above average.
