Nov 16, 2009 I think this one was from badge ben. I might have a second rating from an overseas trade that was from a good bottle, but this rating came from a bottle that had issues to say the least. Smelled like a wisconsin dairy farm - hay and cow manure on the aroma. A similar taste, but with coffee tastes.

Nov 13, 2009 Tried this one quite a few years ago and thought it was extreme. Now I find it a delight in small doses. Black pour topped by a beutiful creamy light brown head that lasts. Aroma of Tar, Smoke, Roasted malt, hints of coffe, and choclate. Lightl bitterness troughout the drink. Starts also slightly acidic but becomes more salty and alcoholic towards the end. It’s powerful but balanced. Medium to full bodied, the texture is creamy and a bit dry with soft carbonation. Leaves a lasting impression and is certainly recommended.

Nov 4, 2009 Bottle. Smoked licorice! Do I need to say any more? Coffee. This is an easy to drink, yet complex porter.

Oct 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours pitch black with a huge tan head that lasts a good ten minuets into this lovely beer. As I type there is still a thick layer of tan foam covering the beer, also leaves some awesome lace.
Aroma is peated malt smokiness over chocolate. Flavor is smoky peated malt, chocolate, coffee and some raisin in the mix. The black licorice really comes through in the finish, along with bitter chocolate. Very creamy mouth feel, this would go great with chocolate cake. Wow! This was a huge surprise to say the least, I’d heard to was great but this one lives up to the hype, and only $4.99 a bottle. Better stock up.

Oct 22, 2009 What can I say, it’s distinctive and delicious. There is a strong smoked-meat character here, I won’t say bacon, that’s just too easy. More like smoked salmon. Smoked salmon in a bottle. Yum. Now that’s good beer.
