Feb 3, 2007 This is an excellent porter, served on a co2/nitro mix at the brewpub. Chocolate and coffee notes abound, with an emphasis on the roastiness of the latter. Smooth, smooth! Goes down easy with a nice balanced finish.

Jul 1, 2004 Deep and dark, a bit red, mocha head that sticks around. Roasty nose. Good coffee character in the roasts, bit bitter. Very good stuff.

Oct 12, 2005 Growler. Black, very clear, with brown head. Aromas of toasted dark malt, coffee, faint sweet malt. Dry palate with flavors of roasted black malts (very distinct grain flavor) and coffee, much like a dry stout. Decidedly thin, but this seems intentional-- it’s a simple beer, no false pretense. I find it an enjoyable take on the style. Growler split with Quintana over a batch of pumpkin homebrew; the aroma of baked pumpkin blends quite nicely with this one.

Jun 28, 2004 Average porter. Dry roasted aroma. Sweet chocolate flavors. The palate was a bit thin making it unsatisfying.

Jul 6, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Very smooth, with lots of espresso coffee and cooking chocolate. Fair amount of bitterness, but a touch of sweetness too. A pleasant, solid effort.

Jul 1, 2004 On tap at the Old Dominion Brew Fest. Deep, dark body with a tan head. Sweet, some caramel, and roasted malt in the aroma. Nice flavor. Very impressive...and quite tasty!
