Feb 22, 2009 12oz.er poured into Duvel tulip. Pour is deep black with minimal dark brown head. Aromas of roasted malts, licorice, dark fruits, and slight coffee. Flavor is strong coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, slight vanilla, a tinge of alcohol and finishing with a little hop hit. Overall a great representation of the style. Easy drinking and enjoyable!

Feb 21, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown pour. Rather opaque. Small tan head that fades quickly. Nose is roasted malts, light coffee, burnt wood and chocolate. Taste brings out a bit more of the burnt wood, stronger coffee, roasted malts, light caramel and dark chocolate. Body is medium to medium-full with strong carbonation. Bitter throughout on the palate. Ends with oily coffee beans, hops, roasted malts, dark chocolate and more burnt wood. Tasty porter!

Feb 14, 2009 12oz bottle. Really dark brown with a light tan head. Malty, smokey and roasty aroma. Nice roasty, chocolate, and caramel flavor. Light hop bitterness, but good balance. Medium-full bodied. A pretty solid porter.

Jan 21, 2009 12oz. bottle with thanks to Gregis! Pours a lighter brown with a foamy tan head, moderate retention, minimal lacing. Aroma is roasty malts, some smoke, with light chocolate and coffee notes. Flavor brings the smoke more to the forefront yet is still somewhat subtle, with additional roasted malts, and lesser chocolate and coffee. A nice, easy drinking porter with some enjoyable smokiness. Thanks again Greg!
