Thanks a ton to a couple of people who sent me this I still have one for the cellar.
Bottle poured into a dogfish head snifter produced a big puffy coco colored head that trailed to a thick layer of lace. The body of this brew is a big black beauty.
Aromas are incredibly chocolate some coffee and sweat dark fruits filled my head the first sip is unbelievably full and smooth in my mouth. Bourbonesque if there is such a word but with heavy chocolate flavors the coffee is very light but as it warms, I got that mocha feeling as I drank it.
A really incredible porter in a lot of ways and drinkability is one of them. I plan on relaxing with the last glass for a few hours
Glad I have one more bottle

Apr 16, 2009 Thanks to 17thfloor for sharing. Opaque black with creamy small brown head. Peppery coffee aroma with dry roasted malt, dirty, really different, like nothing I had before, a little charcoal and chocolate, a little oxidzed cherry. Flavor is sweet cherry with coffee, a little woody, alc, a little oxidized, raspberry, a little cloying, bakers chocolate, a little hops, interesting but a little hairspray as well. Medium and light carbonation. Really sweet and alc is slightly off, this has a lot of really good merits though.

Apr 14, 2009 Thanks to 17thfloor for sharing this nearing his 1000th rating! Pours a dark brown nearly black with a bit of an opaqueness to and a small tan head. Aroma is heavy coffee and dark fruit with a big time woody character and cocoa beans and a hint of alcohol.. Very sweet and complex on the nose. Flavor starts with a lot of creamy dark coffee and some black cherry notes that balance it out. Both sweet and bitter chocolate play a part the sweet being in the start and the bitter coming in the finish. Very woody and some floral hoppiness as well. Medium to full body and a very pleasant mouth feel that is welcoming. Very nice all around tasty treat.

Apr 13, 2009 Rating #998, 2 to go, shared with xnoxhatex and funkybrewster. Pours a obsidian color with a cola like fizzy beige head. Balance aroma of coffee, slightly sweet, faded floral hops, charcoal, some molasses and dark chocolate. Wow, lovely flavor sans the oxidized hops, very much like a traditional ale, sweet and slightly tangy over a dull black oily base 8.5. Upfront fruitiness, maybe maraschino cherries, super smooth slightly creamy but mostly oily, tons of Hershey’s syrup, lesser coffee beans. I really like it, slightly tart. Oily and creamy, very smooth, fizzy carbonation, quite De Molen-esque. The bourbon and woodiness lingers in the aftertaste, bitter chocolate. I really enjoy this and beers similar such as Black Jack.
