Pours a thick opaque, dark chocolatey brown colour with a large brown head. Aroma is soft of dark chocolate, black coffee and cinnamon. Mouthfeel is relatively smooth, creamy and full flavored. Taste is awesome, lots of flavor, fruity but chocolatey as well- chocolate covered fruit!

The Dan Journal #186. Tasted 6/6/08. 22oz bomber. Opaque brown hue. Beige ring of head. Musty aromas with notes of soggy cookies. Raisins port and a touch peat. Tangy and tart. Peppery with a mild citrus note. Good roasted malt flavor. Solid hop presence. Zesty with a mild cocoa and slight coffee nuance.

Dark brown with a small diminishing light tan head. After a time, just small bubbles of lace creating an isle of lace and a ring around the rim. Roasted malt and coffee scents along with some hints of caramel and chocolate. Sweet start with dark caramel, sweet licorice, roasted fruit and mild mocha. As a self professed licorice disliker, this one hints it right. Still rather simple flavors, but nothing seem to be out of place. Average feel and decent flavors. Finish has some light roasty flavors. Linger is a bit ashy and some mild dark caramel returns. A very workable porter. This must heave been shipped to the midwest in an attempt to liquidate. Much indifference.

Bottle. Black colour with a tan head. Aroma is roasted, smoked, fruit, coffee. Flavour is roasted, smoked, fruit, coffee, hop. Nice beer.

Bottle. A dark brown beer with a ruby glow, clear, and with a small, beige head. Roasted, chocolate aroma with coffee and some hops. Chocolate, coffee and roasted malt in the flavor too, along with hops giving a pleasant bitterness. Nice carbonation level and medium to full body. The finish is long, roasted and quite bitter. A nice, quaffable beer with nothing special to it, not that it needs to. (080411)
