Pours very dark brown with a small, mostly dimnishing, light brown head.
Aroma is of lots of coffee, some dark fruits, and caramel/molasses.
Creamy/ smooth mouthfeel with lively carbonation.
Taste is initially sweet, and ends on a bitter/alcoholic note. Although the alcohol note is not that noticeable. Flavor is also malty with some trace of hops.
Not my favorite of beers. I feel as though the sweetness factor was overdone in the beer and so was the coffee/ chocolate flavor. It was difficult for me to drink. Just my opinion; everyone else seems to love it!

Nov 27, 2008 Once again, AleSmith produced some very solid stuff. I am not a huge fan of Porter beers, but this was very good. Nice aroma and flavor of coffee, chocolate, and some dark malt. Just a little bit of bitterness at the end. 10% hidden very well. Good stuff.

Nov 21, 2008 Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and fruit. The flavor is sweet with note of malt and fruit, leading to a dry woody finish where also a light note of roasted malt mingles in. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
