Tasted at the February Northern California Beer Tasting. This porter pours a deep black color with hints or red from the bottle. Small sized beige head. The aroma is roasted malts, chocolate and licorice. A medium bodied porter. The malts are roasty and chocolate. There is definite licorice/anise flavor here as well. The hops are floral and earthy. Nice balance. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

May 8, 2008 [Shared at WLV tasting 4/5/08] Pours murky brown with a thin head. My notes say, and I quote, "feet smell" and a "6" for aroma... so yea I guess feet smell like a 6.
Flavors of semi-sweet chocolate, brown sugar and a touch of hops. Average body/palate slightly thin.
