Aug 31, 2008 The absolute best American Porter I have ever tasted. Good coffee and chocolate malt. Great hoppy finish. Beautiful Rich, dark, burnt amber,color - Art In a glass. Enjoy . . . This is one of the best beers to come out of the midwest.

Nov 2, 2003 Out of bottle big foamy eggshell head. Roasty, chocolate undertones, very nice. Right amount of bitter not overpowering. Very good Beer. If you have the opportunity, this is a very good brew.

Jun 16, 2004 I’m not a big porter fan, but this is one of the best there is. Looks good, smells good, and it especially tastes good. Nice beer for a cold winter night.

Dec 14, 2003 Pours a very dark black with a thick tan head that leaves plenty of lace.
Smells very complex: roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, hops... Mmmmm.
Taste is quite good. All the above flavors plus some fruit esters. This is very well balanced.
Mouthfeel is great as well. It's dry with a nice mineral feel. Lots more carbonation and a bit thicker than your average porter. Drinkability couldn't be any better, IMO. I'm not a huge Porter fan, but I have a new favorite. This is definately worth seeking out.
Props to MJR for making this night possible... < sniff >

Mar 24, 2006 Aroma is strikingly that of a pale ale - slightly hoppy fruity lemons. Big, rocky head sits upon a dark crimson body. Flavor is a potpourri - sometimes lots of charred malt, bitter chocolate and an IPA like hoppiness that lingers. This beer is fantastic - thanks James!

Aug 8, 2006 An excellent color and aroma. A little warm, but really quite an agreeable porter. Not too sweet or heavy, has a little chocolate and much better than their dry stout.
