Jan 14, 2008 This color throws me. I think they have to put "dark" on the bottle to reinforce the fact that this is a "dark" beer.
Light mahogany, wisps of a tan, cola head.
Aroma is cocoa and red fruit, with some sugar and caramel in there.
Taste is rich cocoa, touches of smoke, light bitterness.
Palate is touches of fizziness and dull cocoa that lingers for a good, long time.
This thing is really drinkable with touches of bitterness.
The only detractions I could see to this beer would be its fizziness, its slightly lighter color, and lack of head retention.
However, this is a freaking solid beer.

Jan 9, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy jerc. Dark chocolate brown/ruby colour with a full diminishing creamy, fizzy, and frothy tan head. Dark chocolate, roasty but sweet cappuccino, fruity, and vinous aroma. Roasty, fruity, dark chocolate, and vinous flavours with a nutty, roasty, and lightly acidic finish. Medium to full bodied, soft, milky, and rich mouthfeel. A nicely done porter.

Dec 29, 2007 This is a light porter to me. Easy drinkin’ and mild. Has an odd doughy nose and gets slightly sweet at the finish.

Dec 20, 2007 Black color; huge head. A slightly coffeish Porter, midway between a Stout and a Porter, quite dry mouthfeel (also because of the evident overcarbonation), not bad mainly because of a good hopping.

Dec 18, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Jerc: Poured a clear black color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of bitter roasted malt is somewhat average. Taste is also dominated by medium bitter notes from roasted malt with some light sweetness and some notes of black chocolate. Body is about average with some medium carbonation. Easily drinkable porter with some limited complexity.

Dec 6, 2007 coffee like aroma with a hint of hops near the end, a small bitterness that has some cooking chocalate mix, not an over-bearing porter
