T2Tool (297), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Jan 4, 2009 Poured from a 12-0z bottle. A dark, brown beer with some ruby highlights at the edge. Aroma of roasted malt and sweet milk chocolate. A chocolate malty taste, with roasted flavors also coming through. Hoppier than most porters, with the nice bitter finish. biznizness (742), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA Jan 4, 2009 What an awesome, awesome porter. Picked up a 6 of this at the brewery while in H-burg. Bold porter flavor topped with a hoppy finish. Outstanding. Sammy (3287), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 1, 2009 A very decent porter. An average nose and not much head nor lace, of heavy brown colour. Above average mouthfeel, malty more than roasty, though both elements are there. Maltiness makes it a breeze to drink. MagooinPA (94), Warminster, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 28, 2008 12oz pour into a tulip glass. A nice coffee colored head that was huge and aromatic. This is my favorite porter except for Victorys but that is a huge porter. As far as a standard porter it gets no better than this for American versions. Nice and hoppy for a porter too, both in the nose and at the back end. Lacing is nice as well as the stickiness without cloyingly sweet after taste. Begins with the sweet malt backbone and hops fighting for dominance and finishes with the perfect compromise to both. AWESOME badwhale (39), Bitterville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 23, 2008 Bottle to chilled glass. Nice head. Coffee smell. Mouthfeel very full & creamy. Delicious.
