Dec 28, 2007 Not much on this one. Left a bad bitter taste in my mouth. Color and aroma was good but I just couldn’t do the aftertaste.

Dec 24, 2007 Near black in colour with fairly low carbonation. Aromas of burnt toffee, a bit of stewed fruit, and rubber. Flavors of caramel and chocolate upfront, before drying out quite quickly with notes of minerals and ash. Starts out quite slick on the palate, before the dryness takes over. The rubber note is a fairly major negative, but it’s pretty good otherwise. Thanks to gregclow for the bottle.

Dec 22, 2007 Bottle - Deep red/brown, tiny head. Amazing coffee molasses aroma, definite turf flavour, like drinking a peat fire. Big chocolate-smoke finish. Super stuff and only $2 for the bottle, I will be buying more .

Dec 19, 2007 Quick review of an 11oz stubby bottle from the CheeseMan! Pours dark and oily with a motor oil consistency, lower carbonation than most, but suitable on the palate, as it’s slick and oily with a decent amount of roast and smoke (burning tire rubber?), and an almost peaty note. A good porter. I can really see this one working well with oysters, much like cask stout and porter, with than smooth, low carbonation texture.

Dec 11, 2007 Bottle. Black, with medium-roast coffee, burnt malt and cardboard aroma. Flavour consists of burnt malt, distant fruit and an off-putting cigarette finish. Palate lacks the density of an upper-quality porter. Could use more depth/richness and tasty chocolate accents.

Dec 9, 2007 Very drinkable: dark chocolate in nose and taste with red apple overtones and warming alcohol all over.
