The beer pours a deep black with a thin off white head that leaves a good lacing down the sides of the glass. The nose is very light with a hint of smoke. The taste is very light but I can pick up some hints of smoke and sourness with light notes of chocolate. The finish is short and dry

Oct 10, 2008 Dark black brown pour with some reddish highlights. Decent sized tan head that is frothy. Nose is roasted malt. chocolate, smoke, coffee. Taste is about the same. Goes does smooth with a moderate mouthfeel. A well crafted beer that does everything well and nothing outstanding.

Oct 8, 2008 Looks like a classic porter with an almost black body and a nice tan head that lasts a good while and offers some sticky lacing. A nice classic porter aroma as well with roasted notes, coffee, and chocolate. Smoke and peat are also noticeable. Flavor is delightful with, again, those classic porter flavors. Chocolate, coffee, smoke, and just a smidge of hop. The smoke is not dominant and is just enough to add character. Feel is silky smooth and substantial. I like the moderate ABV. The good news is that it was a 22 oz. bottle. The bad news is that it was only 22 ounces. Absolutely delicious.

Oct 8, 2008 bottle, pours a almost black beer with a light tan head. Aroma is malty and smokey. Flavor is sweet, bitter and dry of light choco, smoked malt, molasses. Decent, but a little bit waterd down.
