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.

Jun 16, 2004 Dark brown appearance is very nearly black, with some dark red highlights. The aroma is very strongly roasted malts with coffee flavors being quite dominant. Tastes sweeter than the smell suggests at first with a mixture of both coffee and chocolate flavors, and some fruity maltyness. Hops are pretty evident, but are of the restrained English type with a dignified bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel is pretty thick. The beer is not terribly complex, but is a solid offering among the lineup here.

Aug 24, 2005 Draft. Dark black, medium bodied pour. Big aroma of roasted malts, some sweet caramel, and a fair bit of smoke. Big chocolate flavor for me, with more roasted malt flavors and smoke. Also some darker fruits - prunes I thought. Also has a decent bitter bite to finish things off. I really enjoyed this one.

Oct 26, 2005 Draught. Pours opaque brown with a solid beige head. It has a roasty chocolate aroma. The flavor is also quite roasty with some deep, earthy coffee, just a touch of something like maple, and a chocolatey sweet finish. I am impressed.

Dec 1, 2001 I’m slightly torn because the first time I had this brew it was amazing. The second time, it seemed ’stale’. Freshness seems to play a huge factor in the flavor of this beer. When the beer is fresh, look out! The roastiness and coffee flavors meld beautifully on the front of the palate with just the right amount of bitterness in the finish to balance everything off.

Jun 28, 2004 Nice smokey/roast cocoa aroma. Cola brown, big khaki head. Creamy, cocoa and roast flavor. Threatens to go coffee-tart but then relents. A long lasting hop and coffee bitter finish. Sturdy body. Quite good.

Oct 5, 2005 Draft at the 5. Dark black color with a thin light tan head. Big roast in the aroma and flavor. Bitter chocolate, full roasted coffee, and hints of smoke mixed in. Crisp with a light-medium body.
