Jan 9, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Nice smell of chocolate-roasted malts from the start. Pours black with bubbles on the side and a very thin head, but less fizzy than a cola. Taste has some assertiveness for a porter, with bitter coffee roast notes and more than a bit of hops in it. Dry finish. Just a little lacking in complexity. Well carbonated despite its appearance. Some coffee aftertaste. Not quite a session beer, but a meaty filler-upper for the thirsty.

Oct 10, 2006 Good looking pour...though I generaly would like to see a more robust head. The nose was an amalgam of chocolate and espresso with a nice bittering in the finish. Somewhat flat in mouthfeel...not exactly a plus in my book! I would repeat this, if only to see if there might be a problem with the bottling line...Thank you, my friend...El_Borracho.

Mar 17, 2008 A decent and drinkable porter, though a bit thin in the flavor. Aroma was decent. Roasted malt mixed with coffee. Pour was a deep dark brown with a thin off white ring for a head. Taste was mostly coffee with just a hint of chocolate in and out. Very heavy carbonation which is usually good, but the taste can’t break through it. Not bad not great.

Jun 7, 2005 Decent sized head . Light tan and settles very nicely. Very mild carbonation. Nice thick sheet of lacing. Light roasted aroma with a bit of black cherry and coffee. Color is black with a very dark burgundy red halo around the glass. Medium bodied and a little fruity. More black cherry and mild coffee. Finish is roasty and pretty clean. Light bitterness and a lingering coffee aftertaste. Pretty good porter.
