Apr 10, 2008 On tap at Newport Pizza and Ale house. Pours a very deep brown almost black hue. Aroma is roasted nut and it has a very smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is caramel malt and hints of coffee bean with bits of dark chocolate as well. The finish is easy and lasts for a little while. Nice abv level makes it even easier to enjoy one more!

Apr 8, 2008 Updated: Oct 20, 2008black but clear with some ruby highlights ( like a real porter should show) Moderate cap and lace. Soft carbonation.
Nice nose of roast grains some coca and sweetness, grassiness clean aroma.
A decent new world porter...enough roast/cocoa/coffee and some nice hopping a good dose of malt verging on sweet but not getting there, nice nutty discernment, some fruity ester like dark dried fruit...longish wet finish.
A good porter in the Micro tradition and well made

Apr 4, 2008 bottle - Pours near black with a roast malt and coffee aroma. The flavor is much the same with nicely accented coffee notes and a decently balanced bitterness. I thought it was a touch thin and overall it’s alright, but I’ve had better porters.

Apr 3, 2008 [1103-20080216] Tap @ Taphouse Grill (Seattle, WA). Malty dark roasted aroma has chocolate hints. Clear, ruby brown body with a quick creamy off-white head. Dark coffee malt roast flavour again has those nice chocolate notes. Grainy medium-full body. Super coffee-ee.

Mar 30, 2008 Poured deep brown with small brown head. Aroma of malt and not to much else. Flavor was terrible. For a minute I thought I was drinking out of a drity creek or something. One of the worst porters i’ve encountered.
