3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
poured a coke or rootbeer like color., with a thin layer of white head. a very nice aroma, burnt malts, coffee and a hint of chocolate. the burnt flavor is predominant, backed up by a lot of hops...a litte too much hops in my opinion. the flavor just pretty much boils down to burnt hops. i didnt pull too much more out of this.

UPDATED: FEB 22, 2006 12 oz. bottle. Deep brown, almost black, body with a small quickly diminishing brown head. I didn’t get much aroma, but a bit of chocolate and toasted malts. Flavor is of vanilla and chocolate with a toasty note. Palate is quite smooth.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a tan head. Sweet smelling aroma of roast malts and light coffee and taste of cocoa. Flavor was good also, roast malts mix nicely with coffee accents and a touch of vanilla. Palate was good, a nice creamy texture. Overall a good drinker.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brown color, with a umber hue that shows through the light. Smallish, diminishing tan head. Mild sweet coffee aromas, with a touch of pumpernickel. Smooth and creamy, but still seems rather thin in feel. Light sweet start with a touch of vanilla. Middle is dry and lifeless with a white bread flavor. Nice black malt and rye finish. Seems to get thicker as the glass goes down. Quite true to style brew.

12 oz bottle Pours a deep ruby red almost black with a light brown head. Good lacing and a kind of rocky. Aroma is of roasted chocolate maltswith a touch of grapes and raisins. Taste is a rather bland porter. Not real good or bad. Has a nutty flavor with decent aftertaste. This one is sot of plain jane but drinkable.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
The aroma of this beer hits the nose with a combination of smoke, vanilla, and oats. It is deep brown in color with a good thick head. This thin beer enters the mouth smoky then turns to a burnt caramel taste that fades leaving a smoky taste lingering in the throat for a short while.

Dark brown hue with aromas of roasted coffee and caramel malts. Flavors are of smooth toasty malts, dark and milk chocolates, dark fruits and well-balanced hop flavors striking out on the finish. Very drinkable and smooth.
