Nov 7, 2007 Bottle Black pour with huge tan head. Very light aroma, mainly a bit of smoked malt. Flavor is a bit more complex, containing roasted malts, toffee, and caramel. Kinda off aftertaste I don’t care for. Overall, pretty good porter.

Nov 5, 2007 12-oz. Thanks, FranknsnBeans! I think that’s who sent me this. Right up my sweet-toothed alley as porters go. Black. Thick, moussy tan head. Scattered light strings of lace. Big chocolate and sweet licorice nose. I swear there’s a hint of cassis or some other dark tree fruit there. Also nice cola notes. Medium body, tingling carb, and big sweet dark notes hitting right from the attack through the mid-palate: chocolate, caramel, some roast, bits of maybe fruit or licorice. Clean, almost neutral finish. Lovely sessionable stuff.

Nov 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours coffee with very little head. Aroma is toasty, and, oddly, rum and coke. Coffee-ish taste, with a ton of smoke. Not my style, but good.

Nov 3, 2007 Draught at Rick’s Sports Bar. Mild chocolate, coffee and roasted-toasted grain. Light soy-wine tang. Mild hoppyness but mainly a malty sweet aroma. Dark black-brown, hard to tell if it’s clear. Medium bodied with medium-light carbonation. Starts fairly sweet, with a soy-wine tang, chocolate, mild toasted grain and brown sugar, light molasses. Sweet throughout, with mild tangy finish, accompanied with light smoky bitterness and some hoppyness. After is mild with chocolate and fruity hops.

Oct 28, 2007 Sampled at GWBF 2007. On tap. This was one of my top two beers at Brewtopia. Pours a very deep opaque brown, not quite black. Thin tan head. Very nice aroma of coffee, toasted malt and light chocolate. The flavor is again coffee and toasted malt, with the chocolate a little more pronounced than in the aroma. Nice coffee bitterness at the finish. Very enjoyable.

Sep 30, 2007 Deep dark brown almost black color. Rich head that dissipates but keeps a thin layer on top. Roasted malt, coffee, licorice, dark berry, and chocolate aroma. Flavor has an additional smear of peat moss. Full bodied.
