Feb 12, 2008 12oz bottle. Aroma of dark roasted malt and zesty citrus hops. Some creamy chocolate. Nice balance between creamy sweet malt and zesty bitter hops. Pours opaque brown with a lasting, thick, creamy khaki head. producing nice lacing. Flavor has lots of toasted bitter malt and some citrus, and slightly pine resin, hops. Bittersweet chocolate. A hint of roasted nuts. The dry hopping really adds an interesting aspect to a traditional porter. Medium to full bodied. Creamy. Bitter malt finish.

Feb 10, 2008 bottle, pours dark brown with a tan head. Nice chocolate and roast aroma, which dominate any smell of hops. Nice hops character of pine and slight citrus blend well with the warm chocolate and roasted malts, slightly creamy as well. Quite NIce.

Feb 9, 2008 12 fl oz bottle at Ĝlbaren. Pours dark brown with dense chocolate brown head. Roasted malt aroma, hints of choolate and a vague chalk note. Flavour is roasted malt, smooth chocolate and a very light acidity. Ends roasted malty and slight acidic. Lovely flavourful and yet uncomplicated.

Feb 9, 2008 Botltle. Pours deep dark brown with a medium dark brown head. The aroma is surprisingly hoppy, some citrus/resin. The flavor is malty with hints of chocolate and some espresso but hops are the star here. I was surprised at the complexity of this porter. The hops come through clean and citrusy. The combination gives this porter a bitter finish. The mouth feel is medium and has some bight. Nice.

Feb 9, 2008 This was just terrific. Very complex aroma of barley, chocolate, and raisins. I felt that there was a stronger taste of either raisins and/or prunes mixed with light chocolate and grain. Real tastey beer that I would for sure look for again.

Feb 7, 2008 Updated: Mar 22, 2008rich chocolaty black color with a nice tan head. Smells of rich hops complemented by an almost blueberry sweetness. A strong hop bitterness confronts your taste buds soon giving way to a more subtle and complex malt character. There is a slight acidity that brings forth cola flavors. A great porter from one of my favorite breweries.
