Jun 7, 2007 Rated 5/12/07: Ahh, I like me a good porter and this is one good porter. Huge aroma of chocolate, nuts, and heavy cream. Dark brown pour with a thick khaki head and decent lacing. Mouthfeel is good for this style but I still would like it to be thicker. Very, very drinkable smooth and easy for sure. Flavor is real nice, lots of roasted malts along with some mild smokiness and nutty flavors. Just the right bitterness to compliment the dark malt. Lactic with a creamy flavor, mmm this is a great standard for it’s style.

Jun 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark ruby color with a large lasting tan head. Roasty aroma with coffee and bitter chocolate. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and very dry. Flavors include coffee, dark chocolate, and a hint of sweet malt. This is a decent porter; would be better if it weren’t so thin.

Jun 4, 2007 Bottle- nice aroma, very roasty, coffee like with some patent malts. Dark syruppy in appearence, some a similiar mouthfeel. Decent porter flavor, with some interesting things going on. Not bad at all.

May 20, 2007 Thanks to some friendly RateBeerian out there for sending me the brew!
Pours a charred black body and a wispy light khaki head. The aroma has an un-suspected hint of tartness, coffee and bakers chocolate. The flavor holds no tartness, just a super dry coffee bitterness; again, the thought of baker’s chocolate is strong and holds long into the finish. The palate is medium, maybe a bit thin. I believe I enjoy the flavor more than the aroma, some raisin and fig creep into the finish… a respectable porter, indeed!

May 19, 2007 Coffee and yeast aroma. Yeast is less evident. Dark amber color. Foam is suprisingly light for a porter. Flavor is mellow. Not tasting much more than some dark malts. Very small amount of bitterness in the finish. Slightly creamy mouth feel.

Apr 20, 2007 12 oz Bottle @ Coles Buffalo Ny. A little light in the body. Coffee & Chocolate notes. One of my least favorite offerings from ST. Still decent though

Apr 15, 2007 12oz bottle. Poured a dark, dark brown color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, and some coffee. Thinner tastes of roast, chocolate, and caramel. Body on the thinner side as well.
