May 3, 2009 On tap at the Selins Grove brew pub. Poured a kind of thin looking (for a porter) cola ruby color. Aroma was roasted malt and some coffee bitterness. Flavor was a little on the butter end with some nice roast, but overall a little thin. Decent porter though.

Apr 21, 2009 Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a bright red-brown color with a trace of a tan head. The aroma was bitter and roasty with notes of coffee. The flavor was bitter, roasty and grainy with a hint of caramel and coffee. The finish was long, bitter and roasty. Ok.

Mar 2, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Pours ruby-hued brown with nice khaki head. The aroma is ashy with notes of chocolate and tobacco, some black pepper, and earth. The flavor is pepper and ash with some burnt sourness. Hints of coffee grounds pop up here and there. There’s a bit of earthy hop bitterness in the finish. Interesting interpretation, but not one I care for.

Jan 4, 2009 Sample platter tap.
Midnight dark. Aroma of dark chocolate, some red fruit, toasty malts. Coffee, espresso, hints of semi-sweet chocolate. Bit bitter, and the taste really kills your tastebuds.

Oct 31, 2008 Tap. Aroma of chocolate and roasted malt, touch of prune. Flavor of coffee grindings, roasted malt, quite sweet, some earth, some milky chocolate, but very faint on these last two notes. Light bodied and a touch astringent. Ok.
