pours a dark amber. scent of hops and roast. taste is the same, but with more roast than hops. nice finish. maybe a little sour note at the end. over all a pretty nice beer. if rogue beers weren’t over priced, i would probably purchase this again.

Aug 13, 2008 22oz bottle from Casa De Oro Liquor in Spring Valley. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a reddish hue. A small beige ring for a head. Nice aromas of chocolate and dark pit fruits. A fairly light bodied porter, a bit underrated in my opinion.

Jul 28, 2008 I had the Morimoto version. Pours dark brown with an off white head. Faint nutty malt nose. Light and crisp, hops, and nuts are present in the body. It is refreshing especially for a porter.
