Feb 20, 2008 Pours dark cola brown with a frothy, khaki colored head that settles to a bubbly layer. A prominent, foamy rim leaves behind random spots of lacing. The aroma is very much chocolate driven, with mocha, cola, and toasted woodsy notes all coming through. The flavor is quite roasty, with chocolate again asserting itself. There’s a nice creaminess to the coffee component, which works very well with the wood flavors. A touch of caramel or molasses sweetness balances things out just right. Falling just on the lighter side of medium bodied, this smooth porter is perfectly carbonated and incredibly easy to drink. A long, roasty, moderately dry finish makes you crave the next sip. This is a really nice session porter. I could enjoy quite a few of these.

Feb 11, 2008 Bottle from Dirty_Martini. Black body with a medium-sized, frothy tan head. Rich malty nose with lots of toffee, cola, chocolate and coffee. The flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter and very roasty with gobs of dark chocolate, some coffee and caramel. Medium body is slightly thin with moderate carbonation.

Feb 2, 2008 Pours a dark brown color with a thin, light brown head that fades quickly. Smells of dark malts, not really toasty malts, just dark. A little chocolatey.
Tastes earthy, slightly chocolatey, malty.
Not too thin, nice and full bodied for a porter. Nice vibrant carbonation. Not the greatest porter I’ve ever had, but this is a quality one for sure.

Jan 26, 2008 tap at the brewery - Pours very dark brown and has a coffee rich aroma of dark roast malt. The flavors of roast malt and coffee accents are well balanced by some quality hops. It’s medium bodied and overall a very enjoyable porter.

Jan 24, 2008 This black bodied stout pours with a tan head and gives off a chocolaty aroma with perhaps hints of caramel and coffee. The flavor glides over your tongue with a slightly oil texture and leaves a subtle bitter finish. While it’s not nearly my favorite stout it is an enjoyable beer with respectable chocolate malt character.
