Dec 11, 2006 Tap. Pours black with a tan colored head, that lingers. Aroma is malt, choclate, mocha. Taste is milk choclate, toasted malts, molasses. Palate is medium full, with a smooth, creamy finish. Pretty good. They slid down fast and furious.

Jun 5, 2006 On cask of course. The body was black with a light khaki head. The aroma was almods and mocha with some milk chocoalte. The taste was light coffee with some sweet pears. There was also some strange stale caramel. The mouthfeel was very smooth. I was not very impressed.

Jan 29, 2006 On cask at Arbor, and served at an appropriate temperature! Deep opaque brown body, medium-thick creamy tan head. Rich aroma of coffee, chocolate, dark fruits, and molasses, with a lactose-like sweetness. Creamy, soft body with a medley of toast, roasted malts, milk chocolate, dark fruit, molasses, and unfermented sugars. Smooth and complex. One of the better porters I’ve tried, and perhaps the most quaffable.

Jan 18, 2006 On cask at brewpub. Deep dark murky browm, with a long sustaining heavy head of coffee. Deep cream and chocolate aroma, with a hint of cherries. Thin bodied! Majorly dissapointing. Body of the beer carries no flavor! Watery. Creamy chocolate and roasted chicory come through on the aftertaste, but the original impression is week. Not high in my book.

Jan 3, 2006 Inky and jiggly black in color, and mostly opaque with some lightening when put to light. Dark, deep khaki brown head. Aroma persists with melted semi-sweet chocolate morsels, brown sugar, caramel, Brown Cows and Hershey syrup. Subtle flavor with expressive bitter milk chocolate streaming into the palate’s domain. Souring Tollhouse morsels basking in a pool of whole milk. Medium-to-full bodied with a substantive liquid pool to encompass the playing field. Gentle chocolate milk finish. One of their better beers.

Sep 6, 2005 Roasty, cocoa-like aroma with some suggestions of smoke and dark fruit. Opaque darkest brown body topped by a wispy tan head that lasts well. Dark fruit flavours with strong charred roastiness and light notes of alcohol. Medium body with creamy smooth texture and perfectly fitting low carbonation. Sampled on cask at the brewpub.

Aug 8, 2005 Draft at Arbor Brewing. Dark brown hue with a light brown head that diminished slowly. Complex good aroma of chocolate, smoke and sweet. Full body with creamy fuzzy texture. Good porter flavor with a long smooth finish.
