Nov 17, 2009 Mahogany pour produces a decent caramel colored head. Lots of cocoa, coffee, and even a hint of vanilla in this one. Not bad for a sessionable porter. Medium to light mouthfeel.

Nov 13, 2009 Wow what a brew! One of my favourites that I’ve had recently and really enjoyed. I love those good old hearty roasted porters. This is what i seek when i look for in an american porter. Something this big and complex. Super nutty with some cranberry sauce and a little baked apple pie on the palate. Love IT! Thanks Brando :)

Nov 5, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a clinging tan lace that stays for a while. Smell is mildly sweet in the nose with hints of charcoal, roasted malts and a touch of hops. Taste is burnt malt, expresso, roasty bitterness, chocolate and slight smokiness. A very nice well balanced porter.

Nov 3, 2009 Almost pitch-black, with a slight brownish tinge. Armoa has slight coffee character with some cocoa and pleanty of roastyness. Quite dry, with a smooth mouthfeel. Over all very nice.

Nov 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Faint aromas of coffee, sweet malt. Weak head, below average lacing for a beer of this caliber. Pours midnight; reveals reddish hues when held up to the light. Despite it’s flaws in appearance, this is one great tasting beer. There’s a reason this beer has the reputation it does, and is among the most well-known craft beers in the U.S. Wonderful creamy mouthfeel, tastes of roasted coffee, hints of chocolate. This is one of the greatest straight porters on the market.
