Nov 22, 2009 Draught. Thin body. Malty and caramel but not too much flavor. Drinkable, but not something I would order again. Glad to have paid a happy hour price for it.

Nov 4, 2009 As I open this bottle a rush of air comes out, I begin to pour the beer and foam fills up half the glass. It takes about five minutes for the head to go down so I can pour the rest of the glass. Finally I get a nice 3 1/2 finger tan head. Body is an extremely dark brown color, almost black. Head retention and lacing were good
Aroma is of lightly roasted malt. Slight smell of copper also. There is also some faint chocolate and coffee. Hops arent in the nose
Flavor is much better than smell. Smoky, roasted malt comes in first. There is a nice sweetness that is countered by some slightly bitter hops. There is a weird metallic after taste that comes and goes.
Mouth feel is good. Carbonation isnt as much as I thought it would be after the initial pour. Body is light but not watery. Head left some cream through most of the glass
Overall this beer is good. Sessionable, like most porters. Not the best porter ever, or even in Colorado, but still good. Would buy again

Oct 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a brune body with a tan head. Malty body with some light nuttiness and caramel notes. Chocolate malt and a light nuttiness that all feels rather thin and uneventful. Eh, not so good esp. for the style.
