Jul 30, 2009 Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee and tobacco. Thin body for a porter and just a bit of bitterness up front that is herbal. Bit sweet but mostly middle of the road. Nothing special.

Jul 8, 2009 Courtesy of keifdog. Pours brown with thin tan head. The aroma has pleasing notes of molasses, some burnt malts and then fades away with little else going on. The taste has a modest level of burnt – roastiness followed by faint molasses and more roasted flavors. It stays even into the finish while picking up a nice sense of chocolate.

Jun 11, 2009 Pours a nice brownish black with a small tan head. Aroma is coffee, roast, chocolate malts, caramel. Flavor is roasted barley, coffee, chocolate, nuts, malt. Finises a touch chalky and bitter with a lingering nutty taste. Decent porter.
glennmastrange (807), hobe sound, Florida, USA
May 7, 2009 Bottle. Heavy malt notes of toasted, cereal, and mild coffee, moderate hop and yeast aromas of herbs and earth, with a hint of vanilla. Head is small, frothy, off-white, with fair lacing and is almost fully diminishing. Color is clear brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and acidic to start and finishes moderately acidic and sour. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a lively carbonation. Bold aromas from this Porter, but a blah finish in both flavor and feel knocks it down a bit.
