Aug 19, 2003 Light brown with ruby hues and a full tan head. Aroma of lightly roasted malt and some toffee. Body is slightly thin with lots of caramel malt flavor. A decent porter with a crisp flavorful toffee finish.

Mar 12, 2008 12oz bottle acquired in trade with ughmash (thanks!). Poured a deeper brown color with red edges and an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, and toasted grains. Tastes of chocolate, roast, and a light coffee finish. Thinner body.

Jul 31, 2006 A decent enough porter, mahogany bodied with a respectable light brown head, it has an aroma of chocolate syrup and sweet malts. A touch of coffee is added to the flavor, but this really needs some bittering to balance it out. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=5586> Famous Wine & Spirits, Bloomington, IL<font size=-1>

Nov 25, 2002 Chestnut color with a thin lasting tan head. Aroma of coffee and burnt caramel. Flavors of coffee, molasses, and caramelized sugar. Some what thin in feel. Dry caramel finish. Decent, but nothing very exciting.
