Oct 16, 2007 Bottle from Trader Joe’s. Pours a deep dark brown, appears black at first with very light tan head. Aroma is roasty, of chocolate and cocoa, maybe a hint of coffee, coming off kind of sweet. Flavor is cocoa and roasted malt, some nuttiness, some faint coffee notes. Not much else, the body fades to a thin medium carbonated thinness towards the end. Finish leaves some faint roastiness and chocolate, sweet but not too much. Not bad, better than I expected I guess.

Oct 13, 2007 Dark brown with a medium beige head. Aroma is roasty and has some coffee and chocolate in there. Flavor is a bit bland, but roasty malts and a coffee undertones make it drinkable. Not bad, not too exciting either.

Oct 10, 2007 Pours a dark brown with a medium tan head. Caramel and Chocolate dominate the aroma. Sweet malts and chocolate taste is complimented with a hint of coffee undertones, though the taste is pretty light. This beer is remarkably similar to the GI Stockyard stout, only a little smoother and a little sweeter, and with a little less flavor.

Oct 1, 2007 Bottle... Poured deep black with red highlights and a thin head. Toffee/caramel-nut aroma. Nice barley-malt appearance in the flavor, buttery toffee flavors and a dab of hops. This was a nice surprise and I enjoyed this beer.

Sep 17, 2007 Delicious cocoa and roasted malt aroma. Dark mahogany hue with thin dark tan ring of head around surface of ale. Slightly hoppier flavor that I was expecting...something of a smoked flavor too. Not quite as creamy as I was expecting from the aroma. A style I quite enjoy, I can’t help but love ths one.

Aug 31, 2007 Only $4.99 for six at Trader Joe’s, and this beer proves to be a great porter in disguise simple as a "dark ale"!
