Jan 22, 2007 Porters are becoming my fav style after having ones like this. Now having had the Left Hand Porter, Sumiits Porter and this one, they are all top notch. Chocaltey coffee taste makes me want more!

Nov 29, 2006 Growler, via joebrew. Pours a completely pitch black colored body under a frothy dark brown head. Good retention with some light lacing. Aroma is very roasty with some burnt malt, licorice, espresso, and a dry chalky yeasy undercurrent. Flavor is roasty and chocolaty with alot of burnt chalkiness, especially on the finish. Very robust for a Porter. Mouthfeel is full bodied and rather thick with moderate fizzy carbonation. A little sticky on the finish. A pretty darn good beer, extremely robust, and really pushing the envelope of what is a Porter.

Nov 15, 2006 Beer pours black with a totally retained tan head. Aroma is very roasted with a decent hop note to back it up. Flavor is nice roasted malt flavor, a bit acrid, burnt, but not too much so. Easy going palate. Good.

Aug 26, 2006 Updated: Mar 18, 2008This is a unique and memorable porter. Beautiful creamy tan head that stays. Chocolate, black licorice, and blackberry flavors take precedence over roasted and black malt. Sweet, savory light-roasted coffee flavor is a nice surprise. Still, even with the intimidating black hue, the full, rich flavor palate and the high ABV, this is not a difficult climb of a beverage. It’s like a rewarding view without the hike (so it’s both immediately gratifying and a bit dangerous).
Rerate. No updated notes, but a simple disclaimer that several recent kegs have been pretty diacetyl heavy.
