Aug 13, 2006 Updated: Sep 4, 2006Had at the Brewery by the bay location about a month ago (found my notes). On tap. Poured dark color with cocoa-colored head. Smell slightly hoppy, and somewhat chocolately, but really not much aroma at all. Mouthfeel thinner than expected. The taste was pretty muted for a strong Rogue beer. The alcohol wasn’t overpowering with regard to taste. In all, an ok beer but I had much better Imp Porters during my Oregon trip.

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.

Nov 28, 2007 On tap at Firewaters. Poured a deep dark brown but it’s so dark in this bar even a Coors LIght would look like a deep dark gold. Roasty aroma of mocha, tobacco and a slight touch of pine. Full bodied with nice carbonation and a slightly dry aftertaste. Flavor of burnt espresso beans, mocha and touch of tar. This is a very dark beer with a very dark taste, quite nice if that’s your thing.

Jul 17, 2009 Draught at Rogue in SF during RBSG09. Black with a light tan head. The aroma was kinda nice with chocolate and plum, but also had an odd pencil lead component to it. the flavor was darkly roasted, dry, and lightly sour with a medium bitterness. Medium-full body with a chalky feel. Not really good, but oddly drinkable after a couple more astringent beers.

Mar 21, 2008 Pours a deep black with a thick off white head. The aroma is hoppy with dry chocolate coffee malt. A hoppy dry chocolate malt taste with a thin porter like body. Finishes dry with a bitter hop finish. Very nice.

Oct 5, 2006 Pint @ Harrisons bar & grille. Ok nose, Like a powdered cocoa mix. Brownish black color, tough it’s not the best lighting to judge color by, Good head & lace. Bittersweet flavor, Bakers chocolate, little carmely, maybe some pine or maybe mint is a better way to put it. Abv is there, but not overwhelming . Medium body, creamy smooth mouthfeel, bitter finish that leaves a powdery coating on the tongue. Tasty enough
