Jan 23, 2009 Solid porter all the way. Good roasted malt flavors and hop presence throughout. Mouthfeel was a little bit thinner and more carbonated than what I thought I porter should be, but it didn’t detract too much from the beer. Won’t knock anyone’s socks off, but will hit the spot.

Jan 22, 2009 12 oz. bottle - poured a brownish black color with medium tan head. Decent lacing on glass as I drank.
Aroma - chocolate, vanilla, coffee and roasted nuts.
Flavor - Tastes very similar to how it smells. Earthy and nutty.
Palate - thin mouthfeel with average carbonation. Finish is dry and slightly bitter.
Overall - pretty average Porter. Not bad but not great either.

Jan 21, 2009 Poured a very dark brown color that was almost black with a nice tan head that dissipated quite quickly. Aroma was of chocolate, roasted malt, and coffee. Flavor was the same, maybe some caramel detectable. Mouthfeel was nice and drinkability was nice. Would have again.

Jan 12, 2009 Flavors of sweet chocolate, roasted malts, caramel, nuts, and a hint of coffee. Aroma is the mostly caramel and chocolate. Very smooth and drinkable but it could use more body - thin for a porter.

Dec 30, 2008 From bottle... poured light copperish brown with medium tan head. This didn’t start off well. The aroma... I can tell there’s a chocolate aroma way back there, but I was more overwhelmed by the smell of ortting leftovers in the fridge. This aroma was terrible. Flavor wasn’t anything special either... a bit roasty with more pronounced bitterness. But it was quite watery. Not much body to this, and not much to be excited about. I didn’t enjoy this.

Dec 26, 2008 Sampled from a variety 12 pack: Pours a deep dark brown colour with a small tan head. Aroma is instantly nutty with notes of chocolate and oak. Taste is a little thin, slightly watery and noticeable metallic in the finish. Again, either my taste is way off or i had a bad 12 pack. I have a few more in the fridge for re-rating.

Dec 17, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Vast improvement over their brown. But, so what? Smells, looks, and tastes like a porter and it also smells, looks and tastes like a not very good one. Miles more drinkable than the brown, but feels like theres dirt or something in the mouth.

Dec 8, 2008 Bottle: Pour is dark brown with a strong roasted and coffee aroma. Flavor has a bit of chocolate with more roasted and light burnt flavors. Smooth brew with a light but creamy mouth feel. Could possibly use more of a malty flavor.
