(Bottles July/2009) (Labeled Paradise Porter) Dark brown to light black in color. Thick creamy tan head, that leaves a nice lacing on the glass. The nose is cola like with an earthy hop undertone. Fresh tasting and very drinkable. The palate is full of coffee and chocolate without being sweet. One of the better Porters that I have had in a while.

Dec 29, 2009 Bottle shared by Bockyhorsey and the Phoenix Black Friday Tasty – thanks Bill! Pours dark reddish brown with a half finger tan head. The nose is coffee, charred barley and malt. The taste is much the same with some additional coffee added in the finish. Medium mouthfeel. Decent brew.

Dec 26, 2009 bottle shared by bockyhorsey on 11/27/2009.
clear burgundy brown color capped by a tan head.
it smells of roasted malty goodness, wood, cream, chocolate and some vanilla... very porter-like. nothing more.
the flavor shares all of those components and adds on some toasted nuttiness and some roasty bitterness on the finish. it is malty but quite dry throughout.
the body is light while the texture is crisp. this is easy to drink without thinking a whole bunch about it... safe. 6/3/6/3/13/3.1

Dec 16, 2009 Nose is earthy, burnt sugars, molasses, & a hint of citrus. Appearance is very dark, almost black with beautiful head & lacing. Intriguing taste is slightly achrid, bitter, fairly hop forward for the style, yet dry and malty. Interesting flavors could be held together better. Nice drinkability, to style. Overall I was surprised with the depth of this brew, yet disappointed that it didn’t hold together better. Fairly complex flavors but overly bitter and dry lacking a malty sweet backbone for balance. Good, but could have been great. I’ll drink again.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy. Sweetness hits the nose hard, more towards the finish a roasty nut appears. Black body with beige head. Sweet malt flavor thoughout beer with some roast in background mild that is. Too sweet for my palate I would have to say. Thanks Eric.
