Aug 29, 2008 The beer had a great appearance as it was a dark brown with reddish tint on the edges. However, after that it disappointed. The aroma was faint. In the taste it had all the typical porter notes, but just seemed to be a little off and had a slight metallic aftertaste.

Jul 18, 2008 Courtesy of bdigi66. Pours with a ridiculous fiver finger thick, bubbly, mocha head. The body is a dark ruddy brown. The aroma is cola and herbal hops with a hint of nutty notes. Light chocolate, toasted malt, cola and a very faint hint of tartness. Tastes much better than I expect from the pour, but still not exactly a great beer int he flavor department.

Jun 30, 2008 A dark clear brown porter with a super thick moka head. A light chocolate with off notes of olive. In mouth, a rather simple porter with light coffee notes, short in mouth, signs of infection. Oktoberfest evening at Marc Gratton’s, taste on April 20 2007

does not count  Jun 24, 2008 I really like this beer. Being that this is a local brew, I am somewhat partioal. Poors dark with a light foam medium brown head. A good roasted flavor with a hint of spice.

Jun 11, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear dark brown body with a small fizzy brown head that faded quickly to a patchy partial covering. The nose is nice and dry with lots of chocolate malt and accents of roast, chalk, and yeast. The flavor’s not as dry as the aroma suggested. Pretty sweet up front with chocolate and cocoa powder, then fading to an ashy and burnt thin finish. Mouthfeel is a little on the thinner side with soft fizzy carbonation. I’m not thrilled with the chalky finish. Overall, this just wasn’t my kind of Porter, this needs more body and less chalkiness.
