Jun 6, 2007 Pours a very dark brown color with a khaki head. Nice mild cocoa and coffee aromas, some roast. A bit thin on the palate. Taste is smooth, with some roast in the middle and a slight bitter cocoa finish. Good porter, kind of low-key - could be thicker and roastier.

May 31, 2007 Dark Brown Color with Sandy Skin. Nice Dark Malts and Subtle but Assertive Roast Notes on the Nose. Medium Mouthfeel...Almost a Creamy Quality to it...Chocolate, Dark Roasts..Nice Balance of Malts and Balanced Overall With a Nice Hop Profile in the Aftertaste...Overall Bitter and Dry..but Still Balanced by a Sweet Malt Foundation. Nice Simple, Well Made Porter.

May 28, 2007 Bottled. Beer is very dark brown with a small, frothy, tan head that rapidy and mostly diminishes.<P>
The aroma is malty with moderate notes of roasted grain, toasted nut, coffee, light note of molasses; Hoppy with light-to-moderate notes of resin/pine, grapefruit, light grassy alfalfa note; Yeasty with a moderate note of basement, light note of dough; Trace note of soil.<P>
The flavor is light-to-moderatey sweet, lightly acidic with a long, lightly sweet, trace bitter finish.<P>
The body is medium, the texture is watery-velvety and the carbonation is lively.

May 28, 2007 22 Oz- Yeah. Liked this a lot. Super coffee and roasted flavor. Jet black, in appearance. Smooth, and substantial. Yum. Wife also loved this, and is a big porter fan.

May 24, 2007 Bottle at Papsoe pre-KO tasting. Dark red/brown colour. Plenty of roasty malt notes here but I also picked up some woody, slightly oxidised notes, drifting towards a touch of liquorice, maybe even soy sauce, that I found rather distracting. Not fatally so, but I just expected something a bit more vibrant.
