| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 4, 2006 Light chocolate and roasted aromas are present. The color is black with a moderate tan head. Head duration is short. The flavor has a slight roastedness and chocolate bitterness that finishes somewhat weak, with the bitterness quickly fading into a slight watery feel on the palate.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 28, 2006 Poured out to a nice, black color with a decent aroma of chocolate and malt. Taste is well balanced with plenty of rosted malt backed up by just the right hop presence. A very, easy to drink porter. patrick767 (2051), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 20, 2006 bottle - This beer pours black with a thin, fading head. It has a nice but quite light roast malt aroma. The flavor is of roast malt with very tastey coffee notes. I was rather impressed by the balanced flavor and moderate mouthfeel with a good hops finish. The brew is a quality porter. SoLan (1427), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 13, 2006 Best by July, ’06. Black. Modest, frothy, tan head settles completely. Aroma of chocolate, a bit of coffee, and a touch of macro character. Same flavors with a bitter finish. Smooth, medium body. Not a bad porter, better than expected. Quite drinkable.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Apr 10, 2006 On tap at the Cincinnati airport taproom, 4/2/06: Nice black beer with an impressive head. Smoke and coffee was my first impression. The smokiness sticks around in a nicely bittered brew. Tad on the thin side, but otherwise quite excellent. Mangino (1027), Mississippi, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 29, 2006 Thanks to Degarth. Maple syrup color. Small off white head. Aroma is light cocoa, some cut grass. Drinking it the coffee malt really comes through. A hint of chocolate, fizzy almost like pop on the palate. Ok. HumuloneRed (750), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 28, 2006 12 oz. Botttle. Pours a clear brown/black with red highlights, a firm tan head, and sticky lacing. Some chocolate and bread in the nose. Nice chocolate malt flavors with a balancing hop bite. A little thin in body, but very drinkable and clean. Nice beer. Holdwine (909), Beertimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 15, 2006 Nice, very sweet and malty. Then with a crisp hoppy finish. Nice transition. Chocolate and coffee everywhere. Dark brown pour. Sits well and is pleasant going down.
