Pours nice dark color with small dark tan head. Aroma is chocolaty, and coffee malts. A very nice roasty aroma that carries over quite nicely to the flavor. Very nice balance of the coffee and chocolate flavors, with a good (if somewhat light) body. Very enjoyable porter.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Pours a dark burgundy with a fluffy, pitted, beige head that laces nicely. The nose is of roasty malt and cocoa, light tobacco and faint coffee. Light-bodied and creamy-slick with a dry, roasted, bitter finish. Roasted malt, chocolate, dark roasted coffee and faint toffee. This is a pretty decent porter and is certainly worth trying if you enjoy the style.

Jul 13, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a medium dirty white head. Has a roasted coffee nose and a smooth malty aftertaste. Thinner than it looks but with good flavor.

Jun 30, 2008 Dark brown with a medium off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee and bread. Taste of roasted malts, coffee and mild chocolate. Grainy texture that’s semi-watery and has a mild bitter finish.

Dark quickly dissipating head. The Beer itself is very dark in color. Rich great full body taste that is slightly sweet. The carbonation has a small bite.

Jun 6, 2008 Looks pretty nice, dark brown, big tan head. Aroma is mostly malty, with a little bit of toffee sweetness. The flavor is kind of a let down - tons of chalky, roasted malt, not much of anything else. Sure, there is a little bit of chocolate and toffee in there, but the malt character really dominates. Pretty watery for a porter. Not a big fan.
