Commercial Description:
A dark black ale in the porter style, though slightly less malty and with a crisp, roasted finish. Welcome home wayward one.

A dark clear brown porter with a thin white head. A woody chocolate aroma. In mouth, a good chalky chocolate malt with herbal notes, cold coffee. Medium bodied. On tap at brewpub, August 2007.

On tap at Silver Peak Reno, NV Pours out a dark brown topped with a light tan head. A little roast malt and some coffee on this one. It was pretty light for a Porter.

Poured a dark drown/red. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, fruit (cherry), roasted malt, and some hops. Thin lager mouthfeel, pretty common for the brewery.

<i>Sampled draught at the Taproom</i><br />Dark mahogany, off-white creamy head. Light roast and chocolate in the nose. Some light fruity hop notes along with the moderate maltiness. Body is clean with a lagerish mouthfeel. You could call this a schwarz and not get funny looks.

On tap &#64; brewery. Opaque in glass, very dark walnut colored liquid--filtered clear--as seen when the glass is low and along the edges. Thin, offwhite head. Medium to light body, coarse carbonation and lightly dry. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts, yeast like dough--sour and chocolatey. Smells awesome. Flavor is malty--chocolate, molasses--yeast of sweet dough--roasty chocolate//bread and light grains on the finish. As the beer warms, something else comes up in the finish..quite strongly. An acidic, alcoholic finish, reminiscent of cheap vodka and rum--the stuff in the plastic bottles. I let it warm because of how dark it is, but didn’t want to finish it after because of this awful aftertaste. Noticably alcoholic. Likely around 6-8%.
