Smokey and good porter, not so chocolaty as suggested in the description. A bit thin on the second taste and finish. Just not a whole lot here, but still drinkable.

Dec 14, 2009 22 oz. bottle from City Beverage in Winston-Salem, NC. Cola-like pour with a creamy off-white head. Roasted malt aroma, smoke, dark chocolate, and light citrus hops. Smoky malt flavor upfront that fades into delicious espresso and creamy chocolate with a slightly bitter hop finish. Overall this beer is light and rather sessionable. A good solid porter.

Dec 10, 2009 Bottle ( 22oz ). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, via trade with ughsmash. This bottle IS a little old ... maybe a lot old. Here goes. Deep ruby-black, smallish frothy tan head. Dry, leafy aroma, some nutshell and coffee - fairly mild, but not bad. Taste - coffee, mild herbal bitterness, faint alcohol - simple, undemanding. Slightly watery and still mouthfeel, dry, quick-finishing, with a dry herbal/floral and roast bitter linger. Pretty solid for a bottle from early 2007!!

Dec 10, 2009 Thanks to HogTownHarry for sharing this with Blankboy and I. Appearance: Pretty dark brown/red with a small tan head. Aroma: Spicy, leather, coffee, chocolate, somewhat ’dusty’ but good. Flavour: Mild chocolate, good amount of spice and hops, decent mouthfeel, light cream and a nice coffee finish. Decent.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle.
Pours a deep, rich black with an aroma of light chocolate brownie batter, roasted malt, and a touch of cherry cake iciing. Flavor is a brownie batter powder, dark malt, dark fruit, and a touch of coffee. Nice, chewy mouthfeel. Not bad at all.

Dec 3, 2009 Pours a dark brown, with a creamy, well-sustained off-white head - slightly yeasty nose, with notes of dry cocoa, roasted malts, light anise - semi-dry, with a creamy body that gradually develops a chalky texture - flavors of bittersweet chocolate, mild licorice, strong roasty flavors - develops a fairly strong bitterness for the style in the finish, but it works well with the more dry qualities of the beer - lingering tobacco notes, a touch of ash - a pretty decent porter.

Dec 1, 2009 Draft at Hulmeville Inn. Black pour with a slight head. Flavor very limited just some smoked malt, could use more depth. Far from the best from BP.
