May 24, 2009 Aroma smacks you over the head with hops. Pours almost opaque, nice head, thick lacing. Hops dominate the rest of the flavors. I’m not crazy about super-hoppy beers, but it kinda works against the heartiness of the porter. Drinkable, but not something I’d buy normally.

May 15, 2009 Wonderfully IPA-hoppy (almost perfumey!) over fruity esters and toffee malts. Nice dark color with light viscosity, deep tan head that falls. Bottle from WF enjoyed in NYC.

May 14, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown, near black, with a thick foamy head. The dry-hopping definitely shows up in the aroma, accompanied by chocolate and roasty malt. The malts show up in the flavor as coffee, chocolate, roast grain, accompanied by hops throughout and into the aftertaste. Nice smooth palate. A good porter for a hop lover, and definitely distinctive.

May 1, 2009 Hoppy, as they say. Slight pukey aftertaste. Hoppy bitter finish from the, well, hops. I think the hops overpower any coffee-chocolate-roasted appeal. It reminds me a a bit of Victory Storm King, if it wasnt’ done well. Okay, but not really what I look for in a porter.
