MullMan (1080), Bloomfield, New Jersey, USA Jan 2, 2006 color is black with garnet edges. creamy dimply medium tan head. aroma is chocolate malt and piney hops. flavor is roasted malt, a little smoky throughout, hops, and dryish pine needles. creamy mouthfeel and sparkly carbonation. bitter finish. thanks to 1FastSti for this in trade! adrian910ss (1395), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 2, 2006 22 oz bomber. Pours a black color with a medium sized beige creamy head. Piney aroma as bottle is opened with hints of malts and rich chocolate. Taste is very hoppy for a porter with hints of pine,malts,rich chocolate and coffee. Pleasantly sweet with a nice coffee aftertaste. one of the best porters out there. railcat1 (578), Orlando, Florida, USA Jan 1, 2006 Updated: Aug 1, 2006excellant chistmas beer or any time .great head and flavor to it with just the right hops to it another fine job by

GreenDragon (213), Richmond, Virginia, USA Dec 30, 2005 Pours with a small brown head on a deep black body. Strong hoppy aroma with lots of chocolate and licorice. Chocolate taste with lots of hops, aftertaste of peppermint or licorice on a nice thick body. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Dec 30, 2005 Dark black color with a brown colored head. Light hoppy aroma with hints of chocolate. A strong chocolate flavor with hints of coffee and hops. Bassy15 (60), Cullowhee, North Carolina, USA Dec 29, 2005 A powerful choclate and hoppy aroma, with a thick, deep, choclate body topped with a tan head. Nothing is suttle about the flavor, rich in choclate and coffee with hoppy bite. thick on the palate but smooth with a long after taste... My friends did not like it, not used to the power of porters but i loved it. footbalm (1218), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Dec 27, 2005 Hard to believe that I have not rated this yet,drank a few of them for sure.This is a deep mohagany brew with a good amount of carbonation. Nose is sweet port like with some dark chocolatte’ undertones. taste is huge on the coffee and dark cocoa.This was different tasting then last years. timmy300 (199), bloomington, Illinois, USA Dec 27, 2005 this beer tasted pretty much to me like a chocolate ipa........wonderfully done
