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.

Dec 24, 2008 Very soft full bodies carbonation that is pleasant in the mouth. Extremely dry roasted complex that is very light on the toffee and chocolate flavors.

Dec 20, 2008 Updated: Jan 27, 2009Dark pour with a thick tan head. Big aroma of banana bread, coffee, chocolate, malt. Plenty of all of that in the flavor, plus a spicy peppery note and some hoppy bitterness at the end. Good complexity, and great balance. Really good. I loved it.

Dec 19, 2008 Updated: Aug 27, 2009WHOOOOAAA, this is WAY overrated on RateBeer. This is only a slightly above average beer and an average porter. Maybe I got a bad keg or something. Taste is fairly flat and one-dimensional. Malty flavor, a little smoke, not much else. Nothing interesting on the mouthfeel - pretty standard. Actually tastes a bit like Anchor Steam, which is a little odd for a porter.
UPDATE: Tried this again at the brewery and it’s actually not bad at all. Must have been dirty tap lines or something last time. Still has that Anchor Steam taste to it that sort of dulls the flavors. Must be their yeast. Has nice roasted malts as well though with some chocolate, and has a smooth, creamy palate with soft carbonation. I would put this in the "pretty good" range overall.

Dec 18, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of molasses, caramel, brown sugar, sweet malt. Flavor rich with all these weighty, sweet notes, maybe even some vanilla in there. Not really my kind of porter, but interesting and enjoyable.

Dec 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with a light tan head. Aroma of raisins. Flavor of raisins, molasses, chocolate. This is a raisiny beer. I am not getting this beer, but it might be old...but for now I am not a fan.
