Dark brown, frothy tan head leaving dripping lace, sweet chocolate malt aroma, rich velvety smooth, lots of roasted character, touch of roasted bitterness in the finish, a cross between a porter and a stout

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.
