Delicious, smooth, full-bodied taste with a somewhat bitter finish, Tastes and looks like quality. Probably would be great with chocolate.

Dec 22, 2009 I like the drawing on the label of a young man holding oversized fresh grains and hops. Fairly yeasty aroma. A nicely balanced porter, with coffee and smokey malt flavors, and an unexpected light, sweet, minty finish. Very nice mouthfeel. This is a good brew, and one I could easily have more than one of.

Dec 22, 2009 Pours a dark opaque brown, almost black with a nice, tall tan head that quickly disapates. A light roasted, malty aroma. Not too strong. Crisp, lightly carbonated; A toasted, mildly woody or nutty flavor with slight hoppy notes at the finish. Milder all around than anticipated, though this could be due a stuffed nose. A good beer, but fairly unremarkable.

Dec 20, 2009 Really good porter here. lots of roasted malts on the nose. Pours as one might expect, black with a tan head. Coffee and caramel notes on the palate i even get a bit of a nutty character to it. Very complex porter. Another solid one from Bells. Great brew would definitely recommend it.

Dec 7, 2009 Bottle. Very dark brown, nearly black, and a nice foamy tan head. Nose seems a little roasty, a little fruity, not terribly strong. Flavor is a lot of sweet chocolate/coffee malt, lightly bitter. Not bad, if a little one-dimensional. This can’t stand up to a porter like Black Butte. Kind of a shame, since I brought this one all the way from Illinois to Texas to try it.
