Jun 28, 2009 Tasted 6/28/09. 12oz bottle. Rather opaque with a dark brown hue with a slight ruby highlight. Thin ring of khaki head. Aromas of dark fruits and mild toast. Medium bodied with a nice mix of toasted malts and dark dried fruits. Creamy initial body with a dry finish. Smooth malts. Faint hops. Good drinking.

Jun 24, 2009 Light. Bit of roast, but not intense. Nothing like the other Southern Tier beer. An actual normal porter.

Jun 11, 2009 Slightly sweet, roasted aroma. Pours an almost opaque ruby red with a dusting of light tan head on top. Strong notes of coffee and chocolate, with a bit of sweetness inside. A bit thin mouthfeel, with a nice clean bitter finish. A very drinkable Porter.

Jun 11, 2009 Southern Tier in Des Moines? Things just keep getting brighter! This beer pours a nice deep dark ruby red, I really doubt that this is the "darkest" beer that Southern Tier makes, don’t they do Imperial Stouts? The head is fluffy and leaves a great lace all the way down the glass. Aroma is fairly faint with some roasty coffee and some berry like fruitiness, what’s there is good but you’ve gotta get you’re nose in the glass pretty hard to get much, which is kinda lame. I like the flavor tons of big roasty coffee a mild smokiness and a good hop bitterness with a little bit of that dry bitter rye flavor, pretty tasty. The palate is creamy and somewhat silky with a mild wateriness.
