Excellent local brew... definitely can taste the chocolate and coffee, and it tastes oh so good.

Jan 24, 2009 On tap at 5 Seasons. Poured deep brown with garnet highlights and a long-standing, creamy beige head. The aroma picked up a well-roasted impression of semi-sweet chocolate and coffee notes with slightly sour woodsy and black patent notes on the back. The flavor found dry-roasted black and chocolatey malts surrounded by slightly sour oaky and spicy character around.. a touch sweeter on the finish with semi-sweet chocolates and black peppery notes. Medium-bodied and roasty on the palate with moderate carbonation.. drier with an OK flow. Very serviceable porter.

Oct 9, 2008 Opaque with a small creamy head. Aroma of coffee, cocoa and light char. Flavor is similar, with some sweet pecan added. Medium body is smooth and roasty-dryish.

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 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.
