May 3, 2009 On cask at Map Room. Pitch black w/ an almost red head, robust too; sweet, malty aroma w/ smoke and toffee; flavor is well-rounded, subtle balancing hops, slightly metallic, chocolate; finishes full, long and bitter. Full-bodied. Intriguing.

Apr 26, 2009 On tap; I think I had this one at Blue Palms. I thought I previously had it, but I was wrong. Color was dark brown to black with a light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and cocoa with a hint of caramel. Flavor was the same. Pretty chocolatey with some earthy hops, coffee/roasted malt and caramel. Good stuff.

Apr 14, 2009 Updated: Apr 16, 2009On tap: The aroma is very fruity (lots of plum and some grape) with some light chocolate and citrus hops. It’s a dark brown with a small brown head that quickly fades to a thin film. The flavor starts with lots of plum and light chocolate. The finish has some moderate citrus hoppiness and faint roast. Medium bodies with mild carbonation and a soft mouthfeel. Reminds me of a hoppy Baltic Porter.

Mar 17, 2009 750ml ceramic bottle. Pours a dark, near-midnight black color with a deep, brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate. Flavor is creamy, smooth and roasted. Chocolate, malts and a nice touch of hops balance out this beer. Dry finish.

A tasty dry Porter.

Mar 8, 2009 Black bodied with a residual brown topping. Richly complex chocolate aroma with some piquant hopping. Deep, baking chocolate, black patent and citrus hop. Chocolatey hopped body with black patent and hop bitterness wrestling each other at the finish. Some dryness, and yes, a touch of tar.
