Jul 16, 2006 Pours a deep mahogany with a bubbly light brown head. The aroma is roasted malt & barley and dark caramel. Tastes both sweet and roasted, and then a rusty feel takes over, finishing on a bitter, metallic note that ruins the drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

May 8, 2006 12-ounce bottle. Humongous roast coffee on the nose. Pours black with tiny ruby sparks, and a thin-finger tan head that falls apart after one sip. A bit sour and metallic on the finish, but nice roastiness on the tongue, and a good firm bubbly mouthfeel. Too bad about the finish--this should have been a great beer.

Mar 16, 2006 Bottled. Poured a clear, deep iced tea brown with a tall initial beige head (receded to a thin layer after a couple minutes.. leaving some lacing behind). Nose was of roasty chocolate, somewhat stale floral hoppage, and currants. Flavor picked up some coffee and other dark malts to go with the chocolate. Finish was of burnt coffee with oaky/tannin notes. Body was medium at most, and felt chalky at times. Not bad..

Nov 8, 2005 Not as good as the Newport Storm Blizzard Porter. Thinner, less gravity and less coffee/chocolate flavor. A nice effort, but I can’t say more than that. The other beers I had from this brewery were very good and it could be a bad bottle.
