Sep 28, 2002 Roasted and slightly vinous aroma, bit of chocolate as well. Unexceptional appearance. Warmed up nicely, with some occasional bursts of flavor. Distinctly dry, mild bitter aftertaste. Slightly slippery, oily palate, but other times striking a watery tone. Decent porter (and thus well above average in the beer world) but didn’t thrill me. I liked the legal disclaimer on the back of the bottle--one that I hadn’t seen before: "Chart on front not meant for navigational purposes." Yeah, like some guys on a boat off of Massachusetts find themselves lost and one of them says, "hey, I know! We’ll use this Buzzard map on this bottle...."

Sep 12, 2002 Roasted grain, caramel, chocolate, coffee aroma. Deep nut brown hue. Rich foamy tan head. Sweet malts dominate first, medium bodied, nice bitter finish. Creamy chocolate earthy lingering finish. I enjoy this porter, very drinkable.

Jun 28, 2002 Updated: Dec 4, 2003I got a bad bottle the first time that I rated this beer. This time it was much better. Although a bit water y. Makes a good breakfast beer. Chocolate aroma, slightly sour taste. Nice mouthfeel.

May 13, 2002 Dark black color, thick, but limited head; smells like a yoohoo. Mild, smooth, thick flavor. Gentle. Mildly bitter aftertaste, but only mildly. Not a lot to it, but quite pleasant.

May 13, 2002 Nice roasty aroma. The flavor shares the roastiness, but it still comes across as watery.

Apr 12, 2002 Re-Rate 04/12/02, Another Missing Beer? Pours a nice deep brown, the head beige, the nose is malt, slight toastyness, and some caramel tones also noted. Front is sweet malt, the top medium, the finish is dry and acidic, hops present, drinkable, and worth a try.

Jan 1, 2002 Deep mahogany with a thin light tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Lightly roasted taste dominated by chocolate malts and a black malt twang. Earthy hop balance. Decent.
