From a 500 ml bottle costing $1.99 at BevMo this poured a rich red that looks almost black until you hold it up to the light, with an attractive tan head and good lacing rings. Nose of roated malts, ripe fruti, and some coffee. Rich and creamy mouthfeel.
Flavor includes chocolate, coffee, toffee, fruit, and and little bitterness from the hops. Great porter.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Dark enough so that no light escapes, with a large, light brown head and beautiful lacing. Molassas comes through first in the aroma, tangled in with the roasted malts and dark fruits. Flavors of caramel, toffee, molassas, licorice, some bitter coffee and a little bit of smoke. Respectably hopped with a good alcohol kick felt in the aftertaste. Full bodied mouthfeel with a dry, lingering finish. Well crafted and true to style; a real good bang for your buck.

500ml bottle. Very dark pour, deep mahogony with a tan head. Nice dark roasty malts. Somewhat thin on flavor though, but not bad.

UPDATED: NOV 8, 2011 Chose this out of the cooler of BOTW because it was the last left so I thought it might be good. Right away you notice the full aroma of roasted sweet chocolate. Very dark pour. Flavor of sweet malt, chocolate and coffee was very enjoyable. Slight bite from the hops to balance it. Very good.
11/08/2011 I got one of these for a trade of a local sportscaster bobblehead doll. It was cellared for a year and a half but still good.

Fine stuff, and I love this style. Goes down thick and rich, and with a raisiny component. Courtesy of kenb.
