Dec 31, 2005 Bottle from Styles. The beer pours to a very black body with a thin dark brown head. The aroma is very strong dark bitter chocolate and roasty malts. Vanilla and coffee. The flavor is a very drying charcoal and chocolate. Reminds me of Brooklyn BCS. I like this a lot. The palate is drying and medium full bodied.

Dec 29, 2005 Rich coffee and roasted chocolate aroma, mingled with a hint of wood and vanilla sugar. Pours a oil dark black, with a coffee and cream head. Mellowed coffee flavor and a hint of mole with pumpkinseeds and fresh chocolate. Oily, sweet and slick. Has a wonderful aromatic vanilla and cream quality, over a more reserved roastedness. Finish is a little salty and oaty, with plenty of appropriate dryness.

Dec 20, 2005 Thanks to Secret Santa for this beer. Poured black with a creamy brown head. Aroma of bitter roasted coffee and chocolate-covered cherries. Taste is mildly sweet with roasted bittersweet choclate dominating and a touch of fruitiness topped off with some citrus and pine hops, leading to a dry bitter finsih. Roasty, bitter, and good.

Dec 19, 2005 deep dark brown color. rich tan head. Aroma faint, but roasty and chocolate. Flavor is thin up front developing into a full somewhat roasty but mostly bitter punch. A little more harsh of a porter than I am used to.
