Bottle, pours very dark brown and smells heavily of roasted malts and molasses. The flavor is heavily dominated by roasted malts, but the beer also offers some complexity with notes of chocolate, molasses, nuts, fruit (prune?) and nice balance of hops in the finish. This is actually a very nice beer; even though it’s dark, it’s fairly light bodied and very drinkable. A very nice example of a well-balanced porter, perhaps slightly on the malted side, but I enjoy that.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark black color with a large, fluffy, tan head that slowly fades. Taste is of roasted malt, smoke, chocolate, coffee and some caramel. A little bitter and slightly thin. Similar aroma. Easy to drink and enjoyable. Not bad, but not great either.

Nov 30, 2009 Pours deep brown, great head retention though it stays low. Leaves light lacy patterns. Subtle malt aroma. Kind of fruity with a light hint of coffee. Slight bitterness at the end, back of tongue. Low carbonation with a good amount of mouthfeel.

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.
