Feb 15, 2009 Pours almost black, the deepest mahogany, into the glass, with slight ruby hues to the fringes. The tan head is absolutely huge, and leaves a nice froth cap all the way down the glass. Roasted smoky malted nose. The flavors are somewhat dry, of dark malt, some slight chocolate, with some roasted coffee and light smoke in the finish. Nice creamy mouthfeel, with some nice carbo levels. A different take on the traditional porter, but a nice offering that is well-integrated.

Feb 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours a rich dark brown with creamy tan head. Aroma is coffee with smoke. Flavor is chocolate, coffee, and smoky wood. Thin mouthfeel, very little carbonation. Decent. I could use a little more sweetness in this one.
