Oct 15, 2005 Pours black (dark mahogany when held up to light) with a medium beige head. Roasty aroma with a touch of malted milk balls. Flavor has notes of chocolate, coffee, caramel, dark roasted malt and a light presence of hops. Has the right amount of sweetness, with a lightly bitter, roasty finish. The body is medium light with some creaminess and moderate carbonation. Not much lacing but pretty solid head retention. Good porter.

Oct 10, 2005 bottle. Pours a dark ruby-black with a small tan head. Good roasted malt, chocolate aroma. Man, this is one roasty brew. Thick coffee is evident with a dark chocolate sweetness. I really enjoyed this brew after being subjected to a few different bad pale lagers earlier in the day.

Oct 9, 2005 nothing really stood out to me about this brew. I cant really put a word on the aroma, maybe coal, or slight chocolate scent. weak taste, bland coffee. just a basic porter, nothing exceptional, but not poor. medium bodied, malty texture. very dark brown in color with a off white thin head

Oct 3, 2005 Bottle. Pours a deep amber with beige head. Aroma of chocolate, a bit of coffee, and some general earthiness. The flavor is much like weak coffee, with some chocolate and earthy hops. There is also just a touch of sweetness in the finish.

Sep 26, 2005 12oz - Aroma is roasted coffee and chocolate malt. Pours a solid black with a medium head and great lacing. Favor is also very roasty chocolate and coffee. Has a bit of a sour aftertaste I wasn’t expecting in a porter. Palate is sticky and sour. Not bad, but not a great example of the style.
