May 16, 2009 2008 bottle. This opaque brown ale poured into a snifter with a massive foamy tan head and a toffee aroma. The flavor is coffee and treacle with some subtle hop bitterness. It’s a straighforward porter that has a lot of taste.

May 14, 2009 Tap at Popeye’s. Black with a touch of lace. Big winey, chocolate aroma with coffee, huge malts, dark fruits, and some wood and smoke. Smoky, burnt flavor; hugely burnt and bitter. Great aroma, flavor interesting bit a bit too burnt and bitter for me.

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.
