Mar 19, 2009 Bottle: Poured a black color porter with an average size foamy head with average retention and some light lacing. Aroma is a mix of roasted malt with light bitter notes and medium black chocolate. Taste is also a nice enough mix between some roasted malt with notes of black chocolate. Body is about average with no apparent alcohol and some good carbonation. I was expecting a lot more character and must admit to having been slightly disappointed.

Mar 16, 2009 a bit thinner than expected, but it was flavorful and easy to drink. Roasted slightly but chocolate and grsin flavor come through well.

Mar 12, 2009 Pours a deep deep ruby with a thin white/tan head... Roasty and sweet aroma without being too sweet... Flavor profile matches the aroma, though the flavor is very straightforward without being overly complex... Medium bodied, medium mouthfeel...

Mar 12, 2009 Pours a dark black brown color with a medium to large sized foamy light tan head. Notes of milk chocolate, heavy caramel, nougat, and massive amounts of tootsie roll. Medium mouthfeel and decent lasting finish. Very drinkable and fairly tasty.

Mar 7, 2009 22 oz bottle: Deep, deep brown color w/ a short lived light beige head of thin foam, and ruby colored highlights as light passes through it. Very roasty at first, but it gets tempered by chocolate and toasty malt as it warms. Some light toffee and a bit of woody aroma, alcohol, and a faint raisiny nose. The flavor is chocolate, light roast, some noticeable hop bitterness up front and a toffee/caramel finish. The finish is fairly dry and neutral flavored with a touch of roasty chocolate peeking through. Very little of the fruit in the aroma makes it into the flavor. Some toasty malt as well. The higher level of carbonation sort of makes the mouthfeel a little distracting from the rest of the beer. It is still medium full bodied, but there’s a bit of a bite to it. The alcohol is well hidden. While I’m not completely disappointed by this beer, I’m not enamored by it at all. I like the nose better than the flavor, which to me seems a little boring. Again, just my opinion on this one.

Mar 6, 2009 Pours with a dark brown body topped by a thin to medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sweet and malty with a nice roasty note and a touch of chocolate. Medium to full bodied and smooth.
