May 15, 2008 Aroma is roasted and burnt malts, cocoa, and coffee. Strong and creamy flavor with a lot of roasted and burnt malts, chocolate, coffee and hops. Very smooth mouthfeel is relatively thin.

May 13, 2008 This has got to be the best porter that I have ever tried, and I am not a big fan of that style, but this is delicious. This is a big malty treat, lots of roasted chocolate, caramel, coffee and other delights, perhaps a bit of toffee, but extremely rich and creamy. Delightful!

May 12, 2008 1st impression was wow!!! There is as much flavor in this as any beer will ever have. The aroma is undeniable. Malts ahoy, some chocolate, maybe molasses, and coffee. It’s appearance was a little disappointing, it was rather nil on the head scale, with a black body, and minimal head. The flavor is overwhelming, with alchohol, expresso, dark chocolate, malt, and maybe toffee or caramel. It’s feel is a bit bitter, and at times a bit too much, but all in all that should be expected a bit given it’s complexity. Nice!

May 11, 2008 Pours a rich brown color with tannish frothy head the fades quickly. Aroma is of semi-sweet chocolate, carmel, and molasses. Taste is caramel, molasses, traces of dark fruit and earth. Alcohol is well hidden but the earthiness lends to a bit of a dry finish. Still, it holds its own.

May 9, 2008 dark beer with a solid head. Although oak/wood flavors convey with the beer, it has little finish and is disappointing...
