Had on tap at brew pub. Poured a dark brown with slight head. Taste was mild coffee and sweet chocolate. Very light mouthfeel, with a slight bitter finish.

On tap @ 21st Amendment poured a translucent brownish black with a small lasting tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, coffee, bitter chocolate and a hint of vanilla . Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of roasted malt, coffee and cocoa with a lingering dry bitter finish.

Deep roasted malt nose, dark opaque brown color, clingy biege head. Woody malt base with a roasted malt bitter. Fairly simple, but good. Like the balance on this one.

GABF 2006: Clear dark chestnut color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma was dominated by coffee. Some sweetness and chocolate as well but hiding in the background. Thin roasted malt flavor. Sweet with continuation of coffee. Light body.

On tap at the brewpub. Black in color with a brown head of big bubbles. Aroma is strong with coffee and licorice and a bit of chocolate. Body is thin, but frames the flavors nicely. An unusual absence of hops except at the very end which gives a bit of palate bitterness.

A well balanced session porter. Nice mild rasted malts with some mocha and nuts flavors. Exceptionally soft and round mouthfeel. Mild Burnt toast and liquorice notes. Clean finish.

Tap. Dark clear brown. with a salty gravy/soy sauce aroma. Sweet choclate and moka in taste, but lacks hops. Lighter bodied. (June 2004).

sure enough, popped into this place before my first ever ballgame. quite dark, ash and asphalt aroma, nutty, chocolatey, quite decent
