This is for the 2005 vintage.
Color; black brown.
Palate; Full nectar, big smoke, raw chocolate, coffee, and leather. Not too sweet. Well balanced and mellow. Scenario; gag your girl with an old leather belt, then light a good cigar (Pedron Anniversary, Maduro) and make her smoke it. Leave her alone til the cigar is fully smoked. Untie the belt gag-don’t let her spit- and gently coat the inside of her mouth with brown sugar, with your index finger. Then give her a deep french kiss for about two minutes. Release and savor.
All in all a great specimen in it’s category. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recomended.

Dec 2, 2008 Bottle shared with Gabe. Aroma is SMOKE! Poured black with nice tan head. Taste? well lets put it this way, I dont think you can get more smoke into a bottle, alon with malt and mild hops. If you enjoy smoked brews this is the one for you.

Dec 1, 2008 Bottle from sleazy-eazy E. Aroma of smoke...duh... Good tan head. Taste is like standing in front of a fire and inhaling the smoke, that is as smokey as it gets. Roasted malts, a little coco and hops. Good interpretation of this stlye.. Thanks E for sharing.

Nov 29, 2008 I don’t like smoked beer much, but among that variety, this is my favorite. Dark brown with a lighter brown head. Definitely smoked, but the malts and hops can be detected as well. The chocolate is submerged a bit. Probably not for everybody.

Nov 21, 2008 2008 version.
Black with a good three fingered tan head which subsides to a ring of tan. Plentiful lacings. Aroma is smoked chocolate.
Taste is big dark smoked malts with a good bitter cocoa hop finish. Some smoke in the finish.
Some underlying sweet chocolate makes this an exceptional porter. No wonder this is highly rated. Very nice.
