Aug 9, 2008 Poured dark braown with a thin tan head that left ok lacing. Aromas of roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate with a touch of hops. Wonderful flavors that mirrored the smell, with an underlying toaste biscuit flavor and perfectly balanced hops bitterness. Burnt sugar and a wisp of alcohol in the aftertaste. Medium body, good carbonation and a smooth, rich mouthfeel. This is one of my favorite porters.

Jul 29, 2008 Pours a dark brown, with a small creamy light tan cap. Pretty nice nose, lots of rich caramel and sweet dark malts just exploding in the air. Lots of toffee and dark fruits as well. The flavor was pretty thick and creamy as well. Really full on the palate. Lots of caramel and roasty malt mixed in there. Toffee and some molasses are noticeable, with some dark fruit character as well. Really nice, well done porter.

Jul 26, 2008 One of the best porters I have ever had. Usually I think of Porters as beers that weren’t quite good enough to be a stout, but this one reminds me what a porter can be. There is cocoa and tobacco. Charcoal taste. Vey light bourbon, which means the bourbon hasn’t ruined a good beer, and instead compliments it. Some oak. Thick and heavy palate. Fairly bitter. Thanks Skyview.
