Feb 5, 2008 Chocolate/toffee/coffee nose. Has a nice dark brown almost black color, with a red hue. Smooth balance, nothing seems to dominate, great harmony of flavors, surprising hop bitterness to balance the richness of the malt. Nice full body with a crisp finish. Seems familiar, yet the hops makes it quite different than a "normal" porter...an extremely enjoyable beer!

Nov 6, 2009 pours brown with a 2 finger head. The aroma is caramel and malts with a hoppy tinge. There is a floral background and almost smells like a chocolate orange. The flavor has hoppy undertones and mixed in perfect., Never had a dry hopped porter other than this, and this is a great brew.

Oct 2, 2007 Had a bottle of this whilst smashing some left over phad tai after work. Nose of potpourri, flowers, spice, caramel, berries, cashew brittle, and caramel. Pours a very dark brown with garnet highlights. A wicked cascade resolves into a fully lasting tall stiff, creamy & rocky mocha head that leaves a thin curtain of lace. This is without a doubt the best porter I’ve sampled in a LONG time! The complexity and depth leave me speachless. No shortage of roasted coffee notes, also moderate acidity is present with a huge floral finish that is again espresso like. The full chewy body is very lively and very dry. This definitely caught me by surprise.

Aug 22, 2005 12oz. bottle. A Nice bitter bite from the dry-hopping process and sweet caramel flavors follow into the finish. Perfectly balanced and a great beer to enjoy all-year-round. This beer shouldn’t be served too cold. The flavors are much more alive around room temp.

Aug 31, 2005 Dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small, but rocky head. Nice little hoppy aroma. The flavors are tangy caramel-based, with a twist of citrus, pine and roast nuts. Quite delicious.

Aug 21, 2003 A nice surprise! The smell is very good, the appearance is very dark and thick, and the taste is excellent! My favorite beer is Terminator Stout (McMiniman's Brewing), but this is a close second. Comparable to Sierra Nevada Porter, but I want to try the two side-by-side. Excellent choice.
