Oct 24, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a brownish color with a small off white head. Head recedes leaving a nice lacing around the glass. Nose is nice choolate with a dark malt note, I dont pick up on any smoke however. Palate is quite carbonated and tingly with a nice crisp finish followed by a filmy residue. Flavor is mostly chocolate with as light dark crystal malt. I like it, not very complex, but nice. Not sure about the whole smoke category though.

Aug 30, 2009 The appearance is surprisingly light reddish brown. Light seeps through. Lace splattered all over the sides. Head dies down. Doesn’t appear to be a porter but great lace.
Very smoky, like coffee grounds and mocha. Roasted but with a sugary sweet raisin and dates.
The taste is a nice balance of sweet dark chocolatey and smoky, bitter malts. A somewhat cloying cocoa sweetness at the swallow. Not unpleasant, but not perfect.
The feel is milky and yet a little chunky. Strong but smooth. A bit too much. It kind of overcompensates for the smokyness. Decent enough but not as smoky as advertised.
