| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 26, 2007 Draft @ Allentown Brew Works, pre-BCTC beerventure. Pours a dark brown center; light tan head with good lacing. Roasted and chocolate character in the aroma. Medium-to-full, well-roasted mouthfeel: lively carbonation, with a dense, dried fruit chewiness that gives this porter some oomph; nutty, brown sugar malts coming through at mid-palate and afterwards. Lengthy, nutty and lightly chocolaty finish. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 25, 2007 Draft at the Allentown brewery. Brown colored body with some burgundy light at the edges of the glass. Nutty brown porter nose, light cream but with heavy presence of nuts, and moderately heavy vanilla. Flavor is medium-sweet, almost frutiy at times, but very malt-forward. Has a long-lasting nutty finish, with some sweet maple resin flavors as well. Better than expected, and something I could sit with and drink.
