Jun 8, 2009 Bottle from tweety. Thanks! Pours dark brown with short lived beige head. Smell is chocolate and some roasty malt. Taste is roasty malt, some creamy milkiness and some light, slightly burnt coffee notes. Leans a bit sweet, after a while, though. Could be a touch more dry for my taste. Pretty drinkable. Medium body and normal carbonation. Tasty and a solid porter, but not mind blowing.

May 26, 2009 22oz bomber courtesy of connecticutpoet poured into a tulip.
Pours a very dark chocolate brown with a big rocky tan head that recedes very slowly to a cap and leaves delicate lacing.
The aroma is dominated by slightly roasted sweet chocolate malts with hints of coffee and vanilla.
The taste is also on the sweeter side of things with plenty of semi-sweet chocolate and caramel. The roasted character is subtle and leaves a slight dry bitterness in the finish.
The mouthfeel is very creamy with lots of carbonation.
A very well constructed porter that’s definitely gots lots of roasted character but definitely leans sweeter on the palate. Very drinkable.

Feb 26, 2009 Bonus bottle from a trade with RCL. Pours a nice medium to deep brown with a thin bubbly tan head. Nose is medium roasted coffee and malt. Flavors have that medium coffee chocolate tone, a bit of prune, and a slight hint or bourbon and vanilla. Mouth is medium to full bodied with a syrupy finish. Enjoyable porter!

Feb 1, 2009 Nice tan head witha black body. Light espresso aroma and chocolate. Chocolate and espresso taste. Some honey perhaps. Medium body. And this beer has a wonderful aftertaste. Overall, this was a very good porter, although nothing too unique.
