Aug 16, 2005 Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a large diminishing rocky off-white head. Nice bubble action. Aroma smells great! Roasted malt, coffee, hops and cocoa. The flavour isn’t anything to scoff at either: the floral hops, chocolate, roasted malt & coffee add up to one great, hoppy porter! Palate has a light bitterness and the texture is nice and creamy. A very enjoyable porter, I have no idea why this isn’t rated higher. Recommended!

Aug 9, 2005 Clear dark brown in color with a taller tan head. Dark coffee aromas with a mild vinous acidity. Hints of DMS and nuts. Perhaps a touch thin in feel, but it seems to work. Quite dry, with plenty of roasted malt and and a touch of dark chocolate. A mild hops component that adds a mild citrus touch. Thanks Santa.

Jul 25, 2005 Bottle from sampler. Great smelling porter. Elements of coffee, baker’s chocolate, cherry and a slight minty sensation all in the nose. It has a very roasty and a very smooth mouthfeel. The flavor is a bit thin, especially when compared to the nose, but has the ubiquitous coffee, chocolate and roasted malts. But, the finish is oh so smooth. For a porter, this is pretty good, and it’s must be even better in the dead of winter.

Jul 7, 2005 12oz bottle - Gained via trade with Sregnar35 Thanks Bill - Pours brown with an offwhite head. Aroma is not very strong slight chocolate and weak hops. Flavor is quite weak as well. Mostly hops come through in the flavor. Slight chocolate flavor as well, but what is most notable is the watery palate to this one. I really drank this whole brew wondering if it should be classified as a porter. It seems more like a dunkel to me. There are so many better porters out there than this one..

Jul 6, 2005 Cocoa and espresso notes in the nose; rather weak bodied; heavey roasted flavor with soy sauce notes; not very impressive

Jul 3, 2005 About right for a porter, IMO. Roasty, but not over done. Good balance. I would like to try this one on tap, not nitro however. This porter is on the bitter end of the porter-spectrum.

Jun 23, 2005 Another good brew from southern tier. Nice dark beer, little head. Lightly sweeter than other porters, but it all comes together.
