Jul 26, 2008 Wow! What a great beer. Immaculately crafted and quite full bodied (for a porter) yet only weights in at 5%. Has very nice lifted licorice and chocolate, long with a faint fruit cake and raisen note that clearly shows some RIS character. This is also evident on the nose. I love the balance right throughout.

Jul 26, 2008 Updated: Aug 11, 2008Pours dark brown with hints of crimson, small/medium sized tan head. Nose is really inviting! Substantial roasted malt present with madiera cake and fruit spice. Palate is much the same, with biscuity malt taking a back seat to coffee roast and hinting fruit preserves. Finish is malty with slight earthy hop bitterness.

Jul 25, 2008 black pour, only a tiny hint of light seeps through. light tan 2 finger head. aroma is fruity with malt, cherry, plum, raisin- quite sweet. The roasted barley and cane sugar are clearly evident, separates it from your typical porter flavor. Mouthfeel is disappointing- more watery than most upper level porters. Still quite nice though, really good beer.
