Nov 15, 2004 On tap: Chocolate and coffee aroma. Dark bronw, virtually black with almost no head. Flavor is mostly coffee. Light sourness in the finish, almost tart. Light smoke. Finish is malty coffee with some sourness. Coffee aftertaste. Somewhat thin.

Sep 18, 2004 Handpull at the brewery: Thick creamy head. I would say this porter is somewhere in the middle third of sweetness. A little bit more so on the roasty side. The first beer I’ve had from this brewery, but certainly not the last.

Aug 14, 2003 A big roasty nosed porter with a raisony burst at the end. Very sweet and sugary in the middle that yields to some darker fruits before finishing with a very dry, roasty end.

Jul 28, 2003 MBG. Dark ruby color with a medium lasting tan head. Strong bitter roasted malt aroma with a vinous quality. Stout like qualities in taste( coffeeish) portlike, with a body like a porter. Nice.

Dec 18, 2002 Again, cask creaminess throws me off! Practically full-bodied! Along the lines of a sweet porter to me. Choc. malt, but heavy, raisiny fruit. Good!

Nov 11, 2002 RERATE - The more time passes from my years in Ann Arbor, the more my appreciation for ABC grows. Absences and fonder hearts and all that. But this revisitation isn’t all nostalgia. I do believe that this is now a better made beer, or at least I have a better informed palate. The rich, hearty complexity of this thing takes no prisoners. It’s a loud, cheerfully roasty porter that calls to mind a good oak fire in autumn and rich well doctored Irish coffee. Original rating 8/14/2001 (3.8) Strong, even for a porter, with a heavy roasted flavor.

Jul 11, 2002 Arbor Brewing Company’s porter on cask is absolutely terrific. Very bold with strong roasted malt overtones. Beautiful maltiness and some alcohol warmth. A great beer for cold Michigan winters. Ask for a taster which the staff will happily deliver.
