Pours black with a nice tan head. Smell is coffee, char and rich roasty malt. Strong smelling, and nice. Taste is dark roasty, burnt malt, and bitter coffee. Medium bodied and strongly flavored. A bit acidic, and nice and flavorful overall.

Dense black pour with a thin cream tan head. Smell is roasted pecans and coffee grounds (lamost on the verge of burning coffee). Flavor is roasted, sweet and bold. Palate is surprisingly big for a porter and has the perfect amount of creaminess to keep you craving more. Would love to have again!

Apr 24, 2008 Draught: Pours black, jet black. Creamy light brown head. Has the aroma of perfectly roasted espresso beans, black strap molasses, oak, and cream. Smoked malty flavor, coffee, and milk chocolate. It’s a little bland in the finish. Not thick but not super thin. Easy to drink. I’d do it again and again.

Apr 21, 2008 Draught. Very sweet coffee nose, with some toffee and other dark sweetnesses. Pours black with a patchy brown head. Lots of coffee with a touch of acidity. Medium thickness, easy drinking. A solid porter.

Apr 18, 2008 Updated: Jun 10, 2008Dark black beer, no head, only a tiny amount of lacing. O.K. no lacing. Aroma is mostly of coffee and some dark cocoa. Dark roasted malt flavor, almost burnt, with coffee, alcohol, and hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is heavy, carbonated, and has a dull bite that lingers. Finish is medium thick, and has an almost burnt malt and bitterness that lasts a few seconds.
