Jan 27, 2006 Bottle. Pours a very deep hazy amber with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is lightly sweet. Flavor is lightly roasted malts and again some sweetness. I did not get any hops at all in this one. Sweeter than the typical black and tan.

Jan 15, 2006 Pours a transparent dark earthy mahogany with a big, airy, foamy light tan head. Has a mild, lightly sweet and milk chocolatey aroma. Body starts with a smooth sweet dark caramel flavor and a touch of bittering hoppy balance before a lightly roasted milk chocolate. A very drinkable and enjoyable porter. Thanks to OldGrowth for the bottle.

Jul 26, 2005 Hazy dark reddish-amber hue, with almost no head, roasted malt, chocolate, fruity aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with fruity, roasted malt, hint of chocolate, dark roasted malt, with a sweetish character, in a light bitter coffeeish finish.

May 10, 2005 Pours reddish-brown and hazy with a small tan head. Smells of caramel and sweet malt.
Tastes of caramel malt. Tastes malty sweet. Very sweet and tastes a bit of candy corn. Mouthfeel is sticky and lingering. This is OK but it does not quite do it for me. Too syrupy sweet and malty for me. Not very balanced for my tastes, even for a black and tan.

Apr 8, 2005 Pours a murky amber with subtle diminishing head. Aroma is of caramel, chocolate, grapefruit and rasberries. The taste of this beer is very complex. One gulp tastes of their porter, the next tastes of a nice pale ale. Above average carbonation and the astringent vinegary finish made this one a personal favorite of mine. This beer turned out to be surprisingly good. The complexity of taste and excellent marriage of two styles has convinced me that this brewer’s other offerings are worth a closer look. To date I have yet to taste an offering from Berkshire that isn’t above average.
