Nearly opaque dark brown pour has nicely-lacing light tan head. Aroma has a good sweet malty roasted character. Body starts with a sweet roasty maltiness and good hints of smoke with a sticky dark chocolate finish and nice mild bitterness throughout. A very drinkable and enjoyable porter.

Oct 6, 2008 On draft at North brewpub. Delicious roasty aroma, full of chocolate, roasted malt, and coffee undertones. It was served a tad cold and warming the glass really released more aroma. Beer came in glass with minimal crown poured from tap, very opaque. Velvety mouthfeel with prominent roasted flavours up front, hop profile increases then tapers off to a clean finish. Very nice balance and leaves a desirable roasted malt and chocolate aftertaste without any troubling hop bitterness. Very balanced beer and worth a taste if you live anywhere in Atlanta.

Apr 6, 2008 This one had a delicious fresh aroma, really clean, with hints of chocolate and cocoa. Roasty with a nutty coffee-esque flavor, hops come through in the finish giving just the right amount of bitterness.

Dec 21, 2007 Deep burgundy color with a thick tan head. Flavor of roasted malts, coffee and bitter chocolate, with little hoppiness. Finishes bitter and sweet. Very drinkable.

Dec 12, 2007 Tap. Pours Black, Tan rocky head. Aroma of roasted malt. Flavor has a sweet nutty and fruitiness to it. Dried black cherries or a slice of fruit leather. Light-medium bodied. Full of whole grain flavor. Finishes with a deep earthy hop bitterness. Perhaps the finest beer currently pouring!!!

Oct 28, 2007 One of the best brews that 5 Seasons has ever produced, if not their all-time best! It pours a rich, opaque sable with a thick, light tan head. Aroma is malty with a smoky undertone and a hint of coffee. Flavor is rich with undertone of burnt coffee, a peaty hint, and a touch of fruity sweetness. This porter is smooth and scrumptuous. I heartily recommend it to all my fellow stout and porter lovers.
