Jul 11, 2009 This ninja is smoking! Well I’ll get to that later. The appearance is a dark brown to black color. The aroma contains some coffee beans, chocolate, and a bit of smokiness. The flavor leans toward the bitter side with hints of chocolate, stale coffee, and a very smokey finish. The palate is rather thin. Overall not bad but could use a little something else.

Jul 6, 2009 Tap. The body was dark brown with some ruby at the edges. A khaki head on top. The aroma was nutty with some coffee. The taste was lightly roasted coffee with some pecans. A nice everyday porter, but not special.

Jun 29, 2009 I’m doing my ratings from Asheville this weekend a bit backwards, starting with the growler I took home courtesy of Aaron. Tasty porter with a nice roasty finish, a little thin but that’s OK for the style. Enjoyed it.

Jun 24, 2009 Draft @ the brewery. Pours dark brown/black letting some light through, a small tan head. Nose of chocolate, coffee, roast, some caramel. The body is a little thin, like my impression of a British porter. Chocolate, roast, some fruit and caramel, semi-sweet, some light bitterness to close.

Jun 1, 2009 Bomber on 5/5/09. Black with ruby highlights and a large frothy head. Coffee aroma with some subdued chocolate. Medium body and carbonation, but the mouthfeel is a little thin. Some burnt sugar flavors and a malt based bitterness that is accentuated by a hoppy dryness in the finish. Drinkable, but kind of one dimensional.

May 7, 2009 Bottle at a tasting at Andy’s, I think Paul brought this one. Pours a deep black with a light tan head. Notes of smoke, roast, and some esters. Nice thick body on this one, though it thins out a bit as it warms. Nice roast.

May 7, 2009 Bottle shared by Dickinsonbeer: Brown ruby pour with a wispy tan head. Simple crystal aroma- toasted and one dimensional. Light feel- thinish. Nice porter flavor- chocolaty, nutty, dark/roasted crystal malt with mild husky notes. A simple but solid porter.
