Mar 31, 2008 Wow! Killer! Great rocky, textured, foamy tan head with lots of lace. Opaque black color. Deep roasty malty aroma with the traditional aromas associated with that. Just a little dark fruit in the tast. Great body and smooth long finish. Close to being a session beer but not quite. A masterwork!. Having this draft at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Mar 30, 2008 Cask at Manhattan Cask Festival. Very dark black beer with loads of roasted malt aroma. Roasted coffee over a sweet black licorice, molasses, and treacle. Lightly salty maltiness. Lingering charry and tarry roasted character. It’s not a bad beer, but it’s got too much roastiness for my tastes.

Mar 27, 2008 Pours blacker than black, with a light brown head. Aromas of chocolate with some roasted coffee. The taste is a very smooth, blending flavors equaling the smells. Nicely done, Dark Horse.

Mar 23, 2008 Wow, this beer is black. I’m not getting any light at all coming through. Foamy espresso colored head. Aroma is roasted malt and chocolate. Medium bodied. Flavor is dark chocolate, roasted nuts, deep roasted malt, and light roasted coffee. Nice mouthfeel. Really deep and dense for a porter, but well balanced. Nothing is over the top. Solid.

Opaque pitch black, no head. Heavy roasted, coffeish malty nose. Flat mouthfeel. Dark chocolaty, coffee beans flavor. Roasted aftertaste. Nice, balanced mouthfeel. This is really chocolaty and coffeish without being too roasted or burned. Not alcoholic at all. Delicious.

Mar 21, 2008 Pours a dark coffee brown with a thick layer of tan head that quickly dissipates to a small amount of lacing. Aroma is of dark chocolate and roasted malts, and toasted nuts/chestnuts. Flavor is of dark caco and the foam of roasted espresso. A very delicious dark beer. Very happy with this selection. Body is light/medium with hints of carbonation but not over.
