| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 9, 2005 On tap. Beautiful black pour, when held to light it appeared a very opague, ruby color. Thin, lacy tan head. Smelled of chocalte, roasted malts, and a slight hint of vanilla. Tasted as good as it smelled. Full body, light apparent hop flavoring, big chocolaty flavor with hints of roasted malt. A very good brew. 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2004 Bottle pours dark brown, almost black, small tannish film for a head, with so-so lacing.   Aroma of roasted malts & cocoa.   Heavily roasted malts and a slight hop bitterness on the tongue.   Minor cocoa, or unsweetened chocolate as well.   Medium body & mouthfeel.   Slightly dry on the finish, with a decent chocolately roasted malt flavor.   Not bad...

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 3, 2004 Bottle Pours very dark chocolatey brown with a very hefty tan head and decent lacing. Aroma seems a bit light for the style. Hazelnut, coffee and dark roast. Subtle though. Flavor is more coffee-ish and smokey/burnt. Feel is a bit thin and the aftertaste has a nice sharp bite that lingers. Not bad, but was hoping for more. cstuartj (305), Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2004 Bottle. Nice black colour, coffee tan head. Lacing is not as thick as I’d like for a porter. Very fruity on the nose, nice roasted malts and barley smell. Taste is very smooth, roasts and chocolates dominate, but hops/fruits are also very present. Finishs very smooth. Good brew. kbjames (242), Utah, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2004 This is a decent porter but nothing real special. The IPA that they make is pretty darn good, but you can’t go too wrong with this porter OldGrowth (1408), North Carolina, USA

A mix of aromas from sugary sweetness to roasted malt, and coffee. Smooth, maybe even a slight creaminess to it's texture. Sweet upfront, rich coffee flavors, with lots of roasted malt bitterness in the finish.
