Oct 29, 2007 Bottled. Poured a very dark and rich brown with a small off white head. Smelled of baker’s cocoa and light coffee. Taste of bitter chocolate malt and a bit of caramel on the tongue, malty, slightly sweet aftertaste. A decent, albiet basic porter.

Sep 24, 2007 12oz bottle. thanks to shadey for this extra. pours almost black with small white head around rim. nose has strong coffee roast like it was brewed w/ coffee. flavor is coffee, roasty, some chocolate, some piney hop flavor but could us more. a solid porter but really one dimensional on the coffee side. watery, sorta astringent finish. not really into this.

Sep 19, 2007 Bottle. Body is a very dark brown and sits beneath a large tan head that laces a bit as it recedes. Aromas are mostly chocolatey with a touch of peat and chalk. Chocolate the dominant flavor, but the peat is there and there is a nice charcoal aftertaste that sticks around a bit. Just a hint of piney hops lingers in the background. Nice, although not remarkable complex.

Sep 16, 2007 Sweet malty porter. Fairly light bodied. Starts off with a sourish malty kick before finishing velvety smooth. Nice subtle roasted malt notes throughtout. Rich and dark, with just a hint of amber in the color.

Sep 14, 2007 Pours very dark brown with a crimson hue and tight dark tan head. The aroma has malt balls, vanilla, cream and toasted malt. Medium body with some slickness and a nice subdued carbonation on the finish. The taste starts with effervescence and dark toasted malt (not quite roasted). There are also raisins, cream and vanilla. The finish is a bit sharp with some spicy hops. A respectable porter.
