Mar 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours opaque, nearly black, with a thin light brown head. Dark chocolate and smoke aroma. Ratebeer sez "Porters are often confused with stouts." Gee, I wonder why! Light-ish body and medium carbonation. Lightly sweet taste, with a bit of chocolate and coffee. Lightly bitter dry finish with a little espresso and just a smidge of pine.

May 11, 2008 From a bottle at Belmont Station--Poured a dark brown body with a rich tan two-finger beige head. Spicy, sweet, liquorish nose with a decent hop presence. Quite clean on the palate, good carbonation level, and well-balanced malt sweetness to bittering finish. Yum!

Jun 10, 2003 very nice dark brown or rather black color,small tan head that faded pretty fast.Malty sweet aroma with strong hints of coffee.Malty taste with a nice medium carbonation,definatley has some coffee in it but nothing real strong pretty mild,with a mild hop presence.some light hints of chocolate and possible caramel as well.The feel is slightly watery but still pretty decent the after taste was mildly sweet with roasted malt and and mild hops,coppeled with some hints of semi-sweet chocolate.Not a bad brew at all,in fact it's damn good and very highly drinkable.

Nov 13, 2009 What an awesome porter. Thanks to Brando for bringing this gem back. Cocoa, coffee and burnt toast and smoke on the nose. Equal in flavour also. Toasty and chocolatey with some breadiness on the palate. Beautiful colour, kind of muddy and monkey like with some shit floating around. Great beer overall. Non stop beauty from all these awesome beers.

Nov 6, 2006 Black body. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, roast caramel. Medium to light bodied, light roastiness. Overall just ’another’ porter.

Mar 8, 2005 Dark brown with lighter edges. Tannish head. Aromas of roast and chocolate. Some soy and lactose. A touch smoky. The flavor is much the same but seems a bit muted. The roast and bitter hops stand out the most. Creamy palate with a roasty dark malt finish.

Oct 14, 2005 Bottle. Pours an ultra-deep brown color, hints of ruby. Fair tan head forms and fades out to a ring. Slight lacing. Aroma is fairly pleasant, light coffee, some nuts and chocolate. Medium bodied, runs a bit overcarbonated which detracts from mouthfeel. Decent roasted grain flavors, nutty, some chocolate with a fairly noticeable hop bitterness towards the finish. Fairly well done.

May 25, 2004 Not much head. Slight roasted aroma. Body could be bigger for a porter but not bad. Taste is mainly roasted malt, but also some molassis type action going on. Nice sweet molassis finish. Only slightly bitter.
