Dec 16, 2007 Pours a mostly opaque black with dark brown edges and a wispy dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and chocolate with some oatmeal and roasted malt. Body starts with a rich dark malty sweetness and some roasty earthy bitterness. Finishes with nice dark chocolate and roasty coffee notes. A nice porter.

Sep 14, 2009 Sampled on draft at the brewpub. Pours a dark brown color. Medium head with decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is roasted malts and green apple. Taste is bitter roasted malts with tobacco, leather, light but bitter hops and the same green apple from the aroma. Seems maybe a bit off. Creamy mouthfeel, medium bodied.

Feb 6, 2008 From a growler at Foothills gathering. Slightly hazed bronw pour. Very porter aroma of slightly sourish toasted malt. Very nice mlatiness and hints of coffee with very appropriate bitter. Just a bit thin but I wonder if it is because of the growler. Nice porter a tad thin but very nice.

Mar 12, 2007 I’ve had this twice on tap now - once at the brewery, and once at Tyler’s, Durham - and neither time has left me particularly impressed with this beer. It’s got a fairly interesting roasted flavor to start but is overall a bit one dimensional. Additionally, for this style the body is far too watery to sustain the character. Average.
