phildorsey (42), Fort Lewis, Washington, USA
Oct 9, 2009 1 pint 6 oz. Bottle. Pours black with a thick long lasting foamy light-brown head. Fruitty armoa’s control the senses.
Taste packs puches of: Smoke, roasted coffee, resin and basement whiffs. Carbination is present but doesn’t control the flavor. Bitterness is minor and the finish is full. Excellant Beer.

Oct 5, 2009 Pours dark with a very nice and long lasting tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate with a hint of roasted coffee. Flavor of toffee, roasted barley and a hint of dark chocolate. Rich and malty but overall a very dry brew with a bitter finish but that’s not always a bad thing. A very good porter that’s worth a try.

Sep 30, 2009 A really nice, drinkable porter. Just the right amount of roasty notes to counter the sweetness that sits a bit back.

Sep 20, 2009 Tap at the Gingerman. Chocolate aroma and a nice taste, but suffers from the metalic aftertaste in Anchor beers.
