Mar 8, 2009 Beautiful dark golden brown with a small creamy head that holds at .5 inches pretty well. Aroma is a touch of smoke, wood, raisins, and ashtray. Taste is tar, ashy, smokey, woody and a little coffee. Strong bitterness in the finish. Kind of light bodied. This could use a touch more sweetness to balance it out in my opinion.

Mar 3, 2009 Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a raven black color and no head. The nose is rich with roasty toffee and smokey wood chips. Flavors produce notes of coffee, more toffee, subtle fired wood, dark fruits, grains, subtle bitter hops, and more smoke in the finish. Medium carbonation and medium/full body. Great porter; smooth and easy-drinking.

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle Pours a deep almost black with a big tan creamy head. The head lasts pretty well. Has a very subtle aroma of caramel, and a smokey burntness. Has a slightly mustiness about it. Has a very mild taste. Definetly can feel the smoked part. Nice mouthfeel , low carbination and a touch watery. Blending is fairly good. Lacks some depth but is a pretty good beer.

Mar 1, 2009 22oz. bottle from Willow Bend Liquors in Lutz, FL. Pours a dark brown with a decent tan head. Aroma is nice woody, caramel, nuttiness. Great smoky, burnt wood, and black coffee flavor. Nice smoky/wood aftertaste. Really smooth. Medium mouthfeel. This is a really good porter...I love the smoky/woody features. Actually reminds me alot of Lost Coast 8 Ball Stout.

Feb 26, 2009 Overall a nice smokey flavor not too overpowering. A little weak on the palate kind of watery. If you like bbq you will love this beer. Enjoy with food cause it needs some bread or crackers.

Feb 23, 2009 Quite good. I enjoyed this fresh brew,after keeping it at my cupboard , more or less warm weather here in my town which is in the middle of the desert however, i think this one has to be cooled before opening coz the taste its quite heavy when warm,some toffee,coffee,chocolate,average look for porter,quite nice and drinkable body,and very liquid not oilly for the style,beige abundant quick-fading bubbles for head.Good
