Jan 3, 2007 Draft... Way dark, opaque, burnt orange ale with a large, brown head. Subtle aromas of vanilla and cocoa. Just a touch of acetaldehyde in the flavor, but mostly chocolaty and mildly bitter. Full-bodied and ultra-silky with barely noticeable carbonation. Bitter, chocolaty finish... dries out.

May 15, 2004 This draft brew from the brewery poured a medium sized head of fine to large sized mostly lasting brown colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was opaque and dark ruby red brown colored with no hop of seeing any carbonation in it. The aroma was nice with malt and molasses notes. The palate was tingly biting and malty. The flavor was vinuous with notes of malt and molasses.

The flavor starts with some faint cocoa and finishes with roasted coffee, honey, and the faintest touch of black licorice. Thin but soft mouthfeel.

Feb 26, 2006 On tap at Crunchy’s. Dark brown body, thin/medium off-white head. A rather nondescript porter with chocolate notes and an interesting musty, sweet nectary characteristic provided by the honey. Hints of butterscotch. Lacks complexity and punch.
