Bottle shared by Blake. Chocolate malt and over-sweet strawberry in the aroma. The flavor starts with good dose of not over-bitter chocolate malt and hints at green bittering hops. I enjoyed this old-style porter.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle… Clear dark brew (mahogany when held up to light) with no head. Syrupy, maple aroma with lesser notes of candied dates, fig, other dark fruits and sweet port wine. Medium to full-bodied with light carbonation. Rich caramel and chocolate malts. Just a touch of bitterness and a hint of acidity. Crisp, lightly tangy, mildly sweet finish. Way better than expected!

Jul 10, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a dark copper/brown color with a small, foamy tan head. Sweet aroma of molasses and cocoa powder. Taste is similar, with a muted roasted character. Light palate. More/better quality ingredients would go a long way to fixing this beer. This stuff isn’t horrible, but leaves something to be desired.

Jul 5, 2008 Pours dark brown with small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt. Flavor is some roasted malts with maybe a hint of chocolate. A bit bitter and watery on the finish.

Jun 21, 2008 Average beer. Good dark color and head. Burnt aroma and roasted malt taste. Palate was a little thin.

May 13, 2008 dark color. No head. Beer looked like it might taste good. I wouldn’t say that I hated it but... watery taste, bad, bad, bad. I couldn’t drink it.
