Sep 10, 2006 My dad brought back a few bottles of this from Maine. This seemed much better than I remembered a couple years ago. I think they toned down the carbonation quite a bit to make this have a better mouthfeeel. Pours a deep brownish black with a beige head. Aroma of nutty toasted malts, chocolate malts, some caramel sweetness and light herbal hops. Nice full flavor for a porter, chocolat emalts, light roastiness, some more nuts, caramel, and toffee. Nice smooth finish.

Sep 7, 2006 Bottle: Pours a dark bown with a medium brown head. Smells of a bit roasted flavor, but by no means is it over powering. Taste is slightly of over roasted coffee, but only subtly. Nothing outlandish here, but a nice beer.

Aug 27, 2006 Pours black with a light tan head. Aroma smells of burnt/roasted grains and a touch of citrusy hops. The flavor has a lot of dry chocolate, hints of coffee and burnt toast, a touch of caramel sweetness, with fruity and bitter hops. The mouthfeel is nice - well carbonated (but not too much), very substantial mouthfeel but not particularly thick or syrupy. In the beginning and middle it is thick with some subtle sweetness, but finishes very dry and hoppy.

Aug 23, 2006 dark as dark can be ... but maybe I just need to improve the lighting in my house ... Sharp roast malt followed by bitter finish. Medium to slightly thin for stout body. Okay, but I’ve come to really enjoy nuanced stouts and this one seems to lack the depth of even some of the middle of the road stouts. Still I managed to enjoy this. (read - it’s okay)
