dkoonce (880), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA Feb 19, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark brown, almost black, with a thin tan head. Has a roasted malt, almost burnt aroma. Fairly sweet, with a coffee and chocolate bitterness. Despite the sweetness, the finish is quick and dry. TURDFERGUSON (1594), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Feb 16, 2007 Bottle from trade with Ty5592. Dark brown, but not opaque, with a little tan head. Blah blah blah, we are a craft brewer and we make a porter, its really boring. Roasted malt, a little coffee, minor cocoa , and plenty of blah. No offense souther tier, but this beer is weak. easy drinking though. moving on... sfontain (506), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 30, 2007 Quite dark brown; very little tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roast, caramel, and light vanilla. Flavor predominantly chocolate, coffee, and roast; moderately bitter, hoppy, roasty finish. Medium-thick and frothy; mildly sticky. This is a solid, if forgettable, above-average porter. Ughsmash (3981), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jan 27, 2007 Bottled. Poured a clear, deep garnety/brown with a nice initial cap of tan head that receded to a fine film. Nose was nicely burnt with dark chocolate and medium roast coffee coming through. The flavor had a pleasant cold coffee base with grainy chocolate and burnt dark malts on top.. mild coffee bitterness. Not too complex, but an enjoyable drink. Just shy of medium-bodied. Not bad.. not great. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA Jan 15, 2007 Dark brown, no head. Sweet chocolate aroma, light coffee background. Flavor exactly on par with the aroma, tapers off in the finish to almost nothing. Body/mouthfeel rather thin and watary. Just average, rather bland porter. bgburdman9 (822), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 11, 2007 Bottle shared by sliffy. Pours pretty black with a light brown head. Great chocolate and roasty aroma with a little sweetness. A little thin on the body. Flavor was pretty roasty but this really wasnt to bad. sliffy (1966), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 11, 2007 Bottle thanks to drewbeerme: Dark brown pour with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate. Flavor, some fruits, roasted malt and chocolate. Nothing special, but it’s not bad.
