MrBeerFanatic (344), jamestown, New York, USA Jul 3, 2008 Pours an almost syrupy dark brown. Has the aroma of caramel,
with a hint of chocolate, and a subdued burnt undertone. Has a semi sweet taste
of caramel, chocolate, and a little roastyness. This one is quite
mellow all around with a smooth finish. Very solid porter. spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA Jul 3, 2008 Dark brown almost black with a good sized tan head, some lacings. Aroma is dark malty some chocolate scent.
Taste is dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, some molasses, bitter hops.
Substantial Porter. Easy drinker for the style. Snojerk321 (1917), San Diego, California, USA Jul 2, 2008 12oz bottle from BevMo! Mission Valley. Pours deep brown almost black with a small beige head that left great lacing. Very faint aromas of caramel and toasted malt. Not much to this beer, drinkable but, overrated. Beerman6686 (1264), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 2, 2008 Pours a very dark brown color with a light tan head. Aroma is a bit subdued but contains some chocolate, smoke, and coffee bitterness. Flavor is kind of dry and smoke but with a nice chocolate and coffee finish. Guinnessman (88), VACAVILLE, California, USA Jul 2, 2008 On tap. Creamy head. Rich aroma. Had a hint of chocolate and an almost oaky flavor to it. Not my favorite porter, but I wouldn’t turn it down, either. greenmanalishi (294), Leicestershire, England Jun 27, 2008 wasn’t getting so much aroma from this but the smooth, creamy, thick feel is the one thing to note. coffee, cocoa and nuttiness to the flavour but it only just scrapes a 7 in all honesty because i was expecting a bit more. FunkyBrewster (436), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 26, 2008 Pours a very dark brownish black with a nice creamy tan head. Very nutty aroma with some coffee and chocolate notes. Flavor starts out with a hint of fruitiness and roasted malt. Some strong coffee notes come through in the finish and a very intense nut flavor lingers for a bit. Full bodied and rich. Definitely a tasty porter, and a great sipper if you like those coffee and nut flavors. gonzo46and2 (108), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 23, 2008 Pours a deep opaque brown with a rocky light tan head. Aroma screams soy sauce with hints of cocoa and coffee. Very smokey. Very lively carbonation and heavy mouthfeel. Taste is much less soy saucy and more on the roasted grain/coffee side with very little bitterness. Not that complex but not a bad choice.
