COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Creamy chocolate flavors combine with a lightly roasted finish and superb body to balance this traditional brown porter. A fragrant malt/hop aroma and herbaceous hop flavor complete this highly quaffable ale.

BBB63 (5423) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - MAY 26, 2003
On tap- Dark opaque color with nice head and lace, medium-bodied. Coffee, chocolate, and floral aroma. Roasted malt flavor dominates the palate, dry finish. Similiar to the porters from northern England.

cb (810) - Roeland Park, Kansas, USA - MAY 19, 2003
Chocolate mocha prune aroma, light fringe of foam, no head to speak of. Slightly tart, bitter coffee flavor. Astringent, assertive mouthfeel. Not a particulary robust or memorable representative of the style.

cckevin (36) - Terre Haute, Indiana, USA - DEC 10, 2002
Nice dark colour, good head retention. Not sweet enough for my liking. I tasted too much burnt chocolate... I will certainly stick to Sierra Nevada and Anchor the next time I want an affordable porter.

Thin Porter. Good bitter chocolate/cofee flavor.

fraternie (777) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - AUG 24, 2001
Decent flavor although not exceptional...very bitter and a little too flat, not my favorite porter.

A very nice porter- and so far, clearly the best in the Upland line (Bloomington,IN brewers make good porters but not much else).
