Poured an ebony color with two fingers of tan head. The nose was of molasses and coffee. The flavor was of burnt grains, cocoa, hints of roasted coffee and molasses. A bit of hop biterness is lurking in the back. Mouthfeel is rather thin. Overall, it’s an okay porter, straight up, no frills.

Sep 27, 2008 12 oz bottle from Douglas88; Nose of roasty coffee, caramel, and brown sugar; clear brown with medium tan head; taste is pretty good with coffee, a tiny hop bitterness, and caramel, but the 4% body is pretty watery. If I lived in Utah I would drink this when I could not get to the State liquor Store for something more potent like a Sierra Nevada Porter that I saw there.

Sep 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle in trade from Douglas88- thank you! Served in pint glass- poured black with ruby tint when held to light source, half finger tan head displayed some lacing. Aroma of a lightly roasted malt, coffee, and brown sugar. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, malt is nicely roasted and enjoyable, middle is a little light (to be expected for the ABV), finish has nice hop/spice bite-very balanced. Not bad.

Pours black, with a light beige head.
Aroma is roasted (butterscotch).
Taste is lightly roasted malts, some spices in aftertaste, some fruit notes and light coffee.
Pretty amazing brew for only 4% abv.

Sep 7, 2008 Its a very funny concept and marketing campaign. I’d rather not have one at all really.
It’s only 4%, basically no taste, and a slight barley in the after. Utah, stop.

Sep 3, 2008 Black in color with a good sized creamy tan head. Smell is coffee, chocolate, and roasted malts. Taste is yeasty with the coffee, chocolate, and roasted malts.
