Reddish maroon color with a medium white head. Aroma of dark fruits and nuts. Flavor has coffee, chocolate and prunes. Medium body. Very nice.

12oz bottle. dark with ruby highlights, small tan head. sweet dark chocolate aroma a lot like chocolate covered cherries. same chocolate taste, a little dryness and roast. The best of a sampler pack.

UPDATED: SEP 10, 2010 355 mL. Wow this was a nice surprise! I wasn’t expecting much but this was fantastic. Pours a deep ruby with a two-finger, dark tan head that has fairly good retention and leaves abundant sticky lacing. Aroma is burnt sugar, molasses, roasted malt, toasted bread, charred oak. Flavor is tons of milk chocolate, some chocolate-covered strawberries, cafe latte, roasted coffee. Very crisp and clean. Quick, sweet finish. Very good. Highly recommended. 8/10/2009 7/4/7/4/16=3.8

355mL. Still a great pour with a healthy, deep coffee head that has good retention with thickish lacing. Nice roasted malt and milk chocolate aroma with a little floral action going on. Body is thin albeit refreshing but gets a pretty hefty amount of iron metallic character in the finish. However, it is an excellent session beer and one of the easiest to session porters I’ve tried. 8/10/2009 7/4/6/4/13=3.4

Impressive porter. Dark brown color, good foamy head. Rich aroma is heavy on chocolate. Flavor is very chocolate, a bit of coffee, light roast. Moderate palate, balanced, can’t really call it semi-sweet or semi-dry, but its in and around there. Richly flavored, robust yet very easy to drink. One of the top porters I’ve had, right up there with Anchor.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a very deep brown with a small tan head. Roasted malt nose with notes of raisin, prune, and chocolate. Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel. Burnt notes, coffee, light chocolate, a little prune, and mineral notes on the palate. Medium finish that is a little dry with some lingering roastiness. A very sessionable and solid porter.

Black/brown thin white head. Aroma is light smoke, lightly roasty, dark chocolate. Taste is lightly roasty, raisin, light caramel.
