Oct 20, 2007 Smooth roasty porter with a nice chocolate finish. Lighter on the palate with a soft carbonation that left the beer feeling very smooth.

Aug 17, 2006 tap at the s. denver location. poured a nice black that was far from pitch with a cool gray/white head. slight gray head. smelled of sugar and chocolate. taste was dry cocoa powder, rich chocolate, a bit of caramel. no noticeab;e bitter side, but was not unbalanced. i assume the hops were just so light as to do their job and stay the hell out of the way. a good beer i will drink again.

Jan 2, 2006 Sampled cask conditioned at R.B. Milwaukee. Dark coffee color, thin bubbly tan head. Overall, a roasty grapefruit hop porter. Tart coffee and sweet cologne aroma. I almost thing the GF hops in taste come from Milwaukee’s "cask conditioning", as the cask red had the same taste. To me, very light for a porter, but a decent beer overall.
