MrRomero (1920), Fuckswamp, Florida, USA Apr 21, 2005 Known as Freedom Trail Porter at the Braintree, MA location: Poured black with a thick tan head. Mild chocolate aroma, light coffee. Flavor is chocolate mostly with light coffee. Mild sour finish with roasted malt. Nicely hoppy. bluemeow76 (685), Lewis Center, Ohio, USA Aug 6, 2003 Strong coffee aroma. The color is a weird, it has a look like a glass of flat chocolate Coke. Pretty good overall. beerluvindave (194), Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 22, 2003 Good general presentation, but a bit flat and the malt tasted a bit too roasted, almost burnt. OTher than that, fairly smooth beer. AleDrinker (1073), Sunnyvale, California, USA Jan 20, 2005 Pours dark brown with offwhite head. Aroma is of burnt malt, coffee, and a bit of chocolate. Flavor is a bit astringent on the tongue but still very drinkable. Good brew. Kevin (1819), Colorado, USA 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.
