monkeyman (57), Alabama, USA Jun 21, 2003 Tasting notes from 1 pint at the Mecca (~ 1 week prior to Memorial Day ’03)... Giant muscular malty mouthfeel from the start, with hints of fine chocolate. Please oh please Mr. Covaleski -- BOTTLE THIS!
euserphriendly (159), Holland, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 7, 2005 A weet porter with a good balance of complex flavors. Satisfied my girlfriend’s sweet beer craving. shadey (1373), Rochester, New York, USA Dec 5, 2004 Cask @ Victory Brewpub. Beautiful black beer. Served a little too cold, but I could still smell the chocolate aroma. Very smooth, creamy mouthfeel with no bitterness. Very nice porter. billk (292), Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, USA Sep 24, 2004 Updated: Sep 25, 2004Tap @ Victory. Dark brown with decent head and lace. Rather faint nose (after I had a couple the milder brews smell rather faint to me). Very nice roasted flavor w mild unsweet chocolate, not sweet, quite smooth, a bit mild,( I don't remember hops here after drinking the nice, hoppy pils just before), just into the medium bodied category. I could have inhaled a gallon of this without much effort. biznizness (742), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA Sep 21, 2004 I wonder why they don’t bottle more of their beers. It does have a nice chocotately character to it, as the description suggests. A little nutty, pretty good. Not a huge fan of the porter style but no complaints here. guzzler67 (1176), Hanover, Maryland, USA Aug 29, 2004 Burgundy appearance with a small head and little lacing. Some caramel in the aroma that was also a little nutty. Palate was a bit thin for a porter. Maybe a little closer in style to a brown ale. More of a coffee edge as it warms. Finish was short lived. Had greater expectations.
