Jan 3, 2009 Bottle.Pours a very dark brown with an average light brown head . Aroma is roasty, and sweet.Flavor is sweet caramel and banana with hints of molasses and caramel. The finish is dry and quite bitter. The body feels pretty full, sticky mouthfeel would have liked a little more carbonation. A very good porter that I will buy again for sure.

Jan 3, 2009 Updated: Jan 25, 2009purs a nice, dark brown color, with a slight dark red color around the edges. 3 finger head, with really nice lacing throughout.
First sip i thought this tasted a lot like a wine, its a little dry in the end. And has enough bitterness to balance out the hops but not to be overwhelming. not bad, but i dont think i would drink more than 2 in one sitting due to the dry wine taste i get from it, which maybe how porters are, as this is my first, i didnt know what exactley to expect from this one, eager to try more of this style though.

Jan 2, 2009 Bouteille de 330 ml. La bière est de couleur noire avec des reflets rubis et un col de mousse cappucino durable. Au nez on respire des arômes de café froid, de caramel brûlé et de madère. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence faible. On goûte des saveurs de toffee, de caramel, de grain torréfié, de madère et de café.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle at California Academy of Sciences. Actually not a bad porter. A little sweet and overly moasses-like. But definitely not a bad porter. Goes down smooth and clean, with a nice warm dark malty note.

Dec 28, 2008 Wow. I really like this one. Well balanced and rich flavor. Smooth and rich, with notes of caramel and chocolate. Thumbs way up!

Dec 28, 2008 Whoa. I truly hope I just got ahold of a few bad bottles but this is very dissapointing. Pours dark brown with huge tan head. Flavor is very metallic and harsh. Ive drank two and Im honestly considering giving the other 4 away.

Dec 27, 2008 Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has tons of banana and grass, very fresh, with more bitter hops opening up as it warms. The flavor is solid and smooth, with an excellent balance of bitterness and sweetness that nullifies the bad aspects of both. A really nice porter.
