Feb 2, 2008 A standard porter, dark color with thin head, flavors of cocoa, accented by some burnt flavors. More bitter than sweet, easy to drink. Lower alcohol than what I’ve been accustomed to in porters lately.

Jan 31, 2008 General66 shared a 12oz bottle of this one with me. Thanks! Very dark brown, almost black pour. Roasted malt and caramel malt aroma. Even more roasted character came through as it warmed. Dark chocolate, slight roasted malt notes, and come coffee flavors. My description sounds very generic when describing a porter or stout, but the flavors in this mesh beautifully. Really an outstanding porter and one that I wish I had tried much sooner as it is readily available to me. Some slight hop bitterness in there as well. Good stuff!

Jan 31, 2008 12 ounce bottle shared with Illini08. Poured a brown color with a one finger width tan head that disappeared quickly. Smelled very roasty with hints of coffee and caramel. Tasted exactly how a good porter should... very roasty with hints of dark chocolate. It had a bitter aftertaste. In my opinion, this is what a solid porter should be. Nothing out of the ordinary but a very tasty beer!
