Sep 27, 2008 Oops, this rating is out of order by a few. No big deal. Black, decent head. Aroma of light coffee and a bit of chocolate. Flavor matches, with the pleasant addition of faintly piney and floral hops on the finish. Nice.

Sep 22, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville. Dark chocolate brown color with a thin but persistent head. Chocolately roasted malt aroma. Taste is roasted malts and coffee with a lactic-type sweetness. A little bit of a thin finish.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep reddish-black, with a moderate tan head. Strong aroma of coffee and sweet malts. The flavor is similar, with most of the bitterness coming from coffee, rather than hops. Nothing too remarkable, but a fine porter nonetheless.

Sep 13, 2008 12oz. A lovely pour of dark brown with a coffee-like head. Aroma is easily the best part, with roasted goodness of coffee, chocolate, nothing too unseen. I can’t say the flavors were inspiring, had good roasted notes but it stopped there and was not balanced with any hops or lighter notes. Mouthfeel was OK, somewhat soft and grainy, made me think I had a mouthful of sawdust. Pretty rough around the edges altogether.

Sep 8, 2008 Aroma is very roasted, some nice coffee notes, and some bitter chocolate, even some slight dark fruit notes. Flavour is very roasty, lots of nice malt, and a nice hop bit in the end adding soem nice bitterness. A very well made, and easy drinking porter.
