Apr 7, 2009 Porter? Hah, no way. Big black pour with a choco moose head. Pours like an imp stout, smells like a good imp stout. Tasted is roasted, burned and forward. Like any other impy stout. Must be in the wrong style category. Gunk on bottom of bottle, yum. Big impression with a bitter finish. wew

Apr 5, 2009 12oz bottle. Black pour with a medium light brown head. Malty and chocolatey aroma with coffee, some dark fruit and a touch of alcohol. Coffee flavor with chocolate and a hoppy finish. Very good beer, but slightly too much hops. Gonna sit on one for a while and see how she does.

Mar 29, 2009 Bottle. Pours with a browner head and more inky blackness than any porter I can recall. Tons of roast and coffee in the aroma, but some anise as well. Flavor is delightfully bitter chocolate and coffee, very dry with a lingering spicy bitterness. Almost loamy. Medium body, low carb and a sticky end. Another fantastic MI porter, this one poured to celebrate MSU’s victory against Louisville in the NCAA tourney.

Mar 27, 2009 Pours a nice black with medium brown head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt evident. Taste of chocolate, coffee, and black liquorice. Very dry mouthfeel with an aftertaste of a bitter hops. Altogether a very nice dry porter.

Mar 27, 2009 Pours very dark near black, medium mocha head. Dry "chalky" aroma, and something almost spicy, as of cardamom(?!). Quite dry roasty flavor, and this cardamom impression comes through in the finish. Very unusual aftertaste, almost hoppy bitterness, almost rubber, and spice. This is a quality dry porter, even though my preference is for the sweeter variety.
