$1.49 for a 12-oz single. Brown in color (not almost black as the description says), no head. Malty aroma and smooth malty taste. Nothing special, but decent.

A better beer thaN MOST... with a distict mocha flavor and a smooth, calming taste,

Poured from a bottle. Pours a dark brown. Aroma screams malts. Very smooth palate. Flavor is nice and malty but nothing spectacular or unique. Easy drinking porter.

UPDATED: FEB 20, 2005 Pours dark brown, almost medicinal aroma, I think I detect some cherries in there (?). Wonderful palate, nice and thick and silky smooth. Taste is mildly troubling, kind of dry with none of the chocolatey hints I have come to like from porters. Overall, a nice local (for me) beer.

Appearance is black even held to light I don’t get ruby red. The ABV on my bottle says 4.8% even though this page states that it is 5.3%. Flavor is malty but has the hoppy carbonation burn. Aroma is not present or at least I can’t detect it. Enjoyable but not great.

Nice roasty/chocolatey flavor and great dark color. This beer also has a nice flavor and aroma. A very good porter.

Barely transparent, deep red that looks deep brown. Small, frothy tan head. Mocha, nutty aroma. Sweet taste of mocha and slight chocolate notes. Also fairly smoky. Medium to full bodied and feels great in the mouth. Overall, a good porter.

Sweet, buttery chocolate maltiness in the nose with a tiny touch of smoke. Mahogany/garnet color with a small light tan head that is quickly dissipating. Sweet dark chocolate notes to start with hints of roasty coffee. Long smooth roasty finish. Not too heavy. perfect body for a porter. Good stuff.
