Aug 8, 2006 Deep brown pour with tan head. Roasted notes throughout the aroma and taste. Full bodied, rich coffee taste. Solid, well made porter, one of my favorite offerings from CBC.

Jul 5, 2006 Poured a jet black but probably more really dark brown in better light. It left a thick tan head frothy and nice, it was served a little too cold for a cask but that didn’t detract from the offering. The nose is chocolate, roasted nuts, coffee, and a caramel sweetness. The taste starts bitter espresso upfront that is then followed with a smooth milky syrupy coating of toffee sweetness on the throat that finishes bitter on the palate for a nicely balanced porter. Another great offering from the CBC.

Jun 10, 2006 Aroma: cream, dark chocolate, smokiness, some vanilla
Appearance: dark brown to black, tan head, lacing
Flavor: dark chocolate, smokiness, cream, vanilla, hops
Palate: coats/fills the mouth, very robust, very smooth
Overall: this is an awesome porter--one of the best I’ve had--too bad I lost my original notes someplace in Boston....

Sep 1, 2005 Unfortunately there is no head on this beer, which is a shame because I had it at the brewery and noone should take more care in pouring than the brewers themselves. Nevertheless, a decent brew, rather sweet with lots of chocolate, caramel and some smoky flavors. Bitter finish is quickly replaced by sweetness.

Aug 27, 2005 Tap@Cambridge, brewing, Cambridge, Ma. Quite smooth. Choc, mocha and berry fruit. Some plastic flavours, which kept its score down, but nice enough.
