Poured a very dark brown, with some red showing through at the edges. The thick off-white head dropped rapidly. A faint, but typical porter aroma of roasted malt with a hint of smoke. The flavor was roasted malt and dark chocolate with a thin but highly carbonated mouthfeel.
This bottle had what had to be the smallest text I’ve ever seen on a beer bottle, and it was in a script font as well, making it all but impossible to read.

Aug 30, 2008 Pours a deep brown with a finger of head. It has a huge, malty nose. The flavors are malty with some solid coffee notes. The maltiness is balanced with hops. The body is a little thinner then I expected. If they bumped the body up on this it would be pretty good.

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.
