Jul 4, 2009 Bottle.. Pours black with a creamy light brown head..Aroma is slightly sweet with raisins and maybe a little soy sauce..Flavor is roasty with a hint of sweetness.. Body is thin with smooth carbonation.. This is a beer I could session all night long. And probably do other things to as well.. Giggity!

Jul 3, 2009 12 oz. into a snifter. Pours black with khaki head. Roasted malt and vanilla aroma. Medium bitter, lightly sweet. Medium heavy bodied, creamy feel, with light carbonation finishing sweet, dry then slight hop bitterness. Highly drinkable.

Jul 2, 2009 Very dark brown body with a beautiful frothy cappuccino head. Malty, sweet aroma...brown sugar, caramel, and a hint of vanilla. Thick, creamy mouthfeel. If the aroma is fantastic, the flavor is superb! Caramel, chocolate, and burnt sugar (think toasted marshmallows) melds to strong coffee and cream with a slightly bitter coffee grind bite. Very impressive beer. One of the finest porters I’ve tried.

Jul 1, 2009 Pours a 1 finger head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee & chocolate. Taste is creamy with a sweet roasted malt taste that leaves a nice lacing on the glass.

Jun 29, 2009 12oz bottle. Deep dark body with creamy foam. Smells of coffee and roasted cerals with some caramel. Smooth chocolatey mouthfeel with roasted malt, coffee and a bit of vanilla. Great beer!

Jun 24, 2009 Aroma is of chocolate, hops and butter. Taste is also malty and buttery, with notes of chocolate and liquorish. Finish is a bit sharp, bitter and dry. A solid porter, but I’ve had better.

Jun 21, 2009 One of my wife’s favorite beers. I have been rating quite a bit of porters lately, and this one is good, almost a textbook porter. An old school porter in the British tradition. Falls short of Founder’s and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald, but very drinkable nonetheless. Impressive looking with its dark body and creamy tan head, the aroma is of faint roasted malts and the flavor is mild, oily, malty sweet with some roast and coffee. Finishes with a faint hop dryness. A nice porter.
