Feb 7, 2010 Kind of a one note beer, mostly espresso like burnt flavor. Not as sweet as I would have expected. Bitter burnt flavors with very little hop. Kind of thin mouth feel. Enjoyable but not anything memorable.

Feb 3, 2010 Bottle. Pours a deep brown, almost black with a tan head. Aroma is coffee and roasted malt. Nice roasted malt taste with a bit of bitterness. Low carbonation makes for good mouthfeel, but a bit thin for a porter.

Jan 24, 2010 This poured a rather dark color, though a bit lighter than a typical stout. The nose has some fruity sweetness with some mild coffee. Taste has a mixture of coffee beans, roasted malts and some decent hop bitterness. The bitterness from hops and the coffee complements each other well. Body is fairly light/medium, much like most beers from Southern Tier. A decent beer with potential that would be better used if it had a heavier body.

Jan 20, 2010 Thick dark almost black pour. Tan lasting head. Strong caramel and licorice scent. Very roasted cooked taste. Reminds me a bit of a BBQ flavour. That slightly charred taste. Some raisin also. Goes down fairly easy but really sticks to the tongue with a strong aftertaste. Rather like this but would not drink many in one sitting.

Jan 12, 2010 Pours a pitch black with a thin layer of off-white foam. Faintly sweet but mostly very fresh aroma - pleasant. Tastes well-balanced - chocolate and espresso beans as promised, but rather raw beans, as there is a distinct vegetal taste which is not overly disruptive, but ever-present - reminds me of snap peas. Decently thick body with a rather self-contained carbonation - well dissolved and not at all fizzy, very appropriate. Despite the vegetal taste, I definitely enjoyed this porter more than most.

Jan 7, 2010 355ml bottle
5.2% ABV
I tried this beer on December 18, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a dark brown, almost black colour with a thin white head. The aroma was weak, but consisted of roasted malt and licorice. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was bitter coffee, smoked wood, licorice, and roasted malt...with a subtle dryness to it.
