Dec 21, 2008 Draft @ ravenous pig. Pours a deep brown/black that shows red when held up to the light. Fuzzy tan head topping, leaves some nice lacing. Chocolate, roast, a little caramel and hints of smoke. I wish the smoke was stronger. Dark chocolate, caramel, not dominating sweetness, a light hop presence. Not too astringent, well-carbed and drinkable. Paired well with two cheeses and assorted charcuterie, it was good, want more smoke,

SHANER4 (370), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
Dec 20, 2008 22 oz. bottle - Poured a black color with hint of ruby on edges. Small, almost no head.
Aroma - very light coffee and chocolate scent. Smoke scent is evident but very light.
Flavor - sweet, salty, coffee and chocolate.
Palate - Earthy almost dunkel like. Smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Finish is lightly smokey and chocolatey.
Overall - A really nice porter. That smokey chocolate taste gives it a earthy dunkel flavor. I am not a huge Porter fan but this beer I could drink!!

Dec 14, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Tony at Oldsmar Tap House (Tampa, FL). Pours a brown to black color with a thin tan head. Some retention and lacing. Aroma is toasty, roasty malt with smoked fish and almond notes. Flavor is also malty and roasted with a dry, smoke note toward finish. As the beer warms there were some subtle fruit flavors that emerged. Some notes of chocolate and coffee as well. Medium to full body with a roasted malt finish.

Dec 9, 2008 Pours dark brown with light tan head. Roasted malt aroma with just a hint of smoke. Roasted malt flavor with some chocolate and coffee. The mild smokiness really complements those flavors. Medium body with mild carbonation. A really nice porter.

Dec 7, 2008 Bottle. Black with ruby at the thinnest points, a patchy off-white head on top leaving nice lacing. Chocolate is the dominant aroma with some roastiness and a hint of smoke. Flavor gives waves of smoke interlaced with chocolate and caramel. Low carbonation, smooth and thick. Very drinkable with a nice subtle smoke character.
