Dec 16, 2008 12oz bottle-pours a rich light brown head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-chocolate/anise, vegetal, some earthy hops. Taste is dark malt-ashy/tar, vegetal, secondary earthy/woody/chicory hops. Not my taste. Full body. Thanks decaturstevo for picking this out.

Dec 10, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in an English pint glass. This beer poured a sleek, near-black with some mahogany highlights around the edges of the glass. A thin head of tan foam quickly faded away, leaving little lace. The aroma included freshly gound coffee, milk chocolate, and some caramel. Mildly roasty. The flavor contained some moderately bitter coffee and roasted malt, along with a balancing hop bite. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had light to moderate carbonation. Not bad. A pretty standard porter.

Dec 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear deep brown with no head whatsoever. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee and a hint of smoke. Flavor of coffee, bittersweet chocolate and toffee. Very watery texture and weak finish. Not a great effort from a very respectable brewery.

Nov 29, 2008 Out of a Southern Tier variety pack as the "mystery beer"
Listen up, whoever doesn’t like this has issues. . .
What can you say ?
A Porter with just enough hops to balance out the finish to make this a great porter !
Pours with a great dark color, the head wasn’t really there, just a tiny head but with nice color. . .
Great malt flavor with, a dash of chocolate and a touch of dark coffee. . .
The after taste just got me thinking, wow, i thought porters were so so. . . . but not this one !

Nov 28, 2008 From bottle. Part of January Dayton Beer Tasting event. Pours dark borwn/black with tan head. Simple malt aromas mix with coffee. Tastes include chocolate, espresso and a hoppy finish. Decent but not a standout.

Nov 27, 2008 Updated: Jan 24, 2009Black brown pour with a small tope head. Nose: chocolate, coffee, roasted malt. Taste: mouthfeel is medium taste is chocolate and roasted malt with a bitter back end. Pretty standard, nothing exciting, and kind of weak. Additional notes of cocoa powder and burnt mini wheats. (nice call andrew)

Nov 27, 2008 aroma of some roast but not much. color is dark but still translucent, filthy orange around the edges. flavor has some roast but almost no bitterness. little to zero chocolate/coffee. mouthfeel is decidedly thin. a disappointment to even call this sessionable. true, its lack of challenge makes it prime for repeated drinking but its lack of character makes it too irratating for this drinker.
