| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 26, 2007 On tap at SB March 2005--Poured a deep brown-black body with a small tan head. Nose of burnt malts and roasty chocolate. Mouth feel a little thin, but flavor profile is good with some vanilla and chocolate in there. Finished on the dry side and something about it is just lacking. Pretty nice. Seems a lot of the high ratings are from Florida. This brewery is indeed an oasis from the plethora of bad beer in the state.

This is a beverage so great, it will be spoken of for years to come, grandparents will tell their grandchildren of the day they had the best porter known to mankind.

Dark brown fading to black pour with nice thick khaki colored head. Earthy aroma with hints of coffee and cocoa. Flavor has some fresh earthy accents to it with some potting soil, coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel is thickish and slightly oily. Very good brewpub porter.
