Mar 27, 2006 Pours deep, slightly translucent brown with low to moderate carbonation. Aroma is primarily chocolate, with caramel and fruit/flower. Starts light and sweet, reminiscent of chocolate covered cherries, then moves to coffee with pronounced floral undertones finishing with mild dryness that leaves dark chocolate and strawberry aftertaste. Smooth and milky throughout. Wow, this is one damn fine beer, and organic to boot!

Sep 29, 2007 12 oz. Dark brown with a large and lasting head. Nice wispy clouds of lace. Cocoa, sour cream and earthy, metallic herb aromas. Flavor is dry cocoa, graham crackers, marshmallow and prickly, earthy spiced molasses. Slight coffee with soured milk, and green mesquite woodsmoke are also present. Palate is a little chalky, near medium-bodied, and smooth but tingly at the same time.

Oct 10, 2003 A very nice nutty-coffee flavor with an appropriately rich accompanying aroma. The color is a nice, barely translucent brown. Starts out sweet and finishes with just a hint of bitterness. Good stuff.

Feb 1, 2003 It has a subtle aroma, and a good thick head. The flavor is a pleasant mix of roasted smoky chocolate. It is also very smooth. I liked it.

Oct 10, 2005 bottled; thanks to Per - clear and dark brown colour with almost no foam; very complex aroma of roasted bread, chocolate and dark fruits; creamy mouthfeel, some sweetness before a dry toasted bitterness, medium-bodied; long chocolatey/cocoa finish with lingering hoppy notes - hmmmm, I could drink some pints of this one !

Nov 9, 2003 Bought at my local health food style store.
Comes ina 12 oz brown short neck..with two burly guys carrying a big cask on the label.
Very attractive looking porter here..itsa lovelly mahogany dark brown with a massive creamy tan head..that sticks around till the cows come home..very well done.
nice fresh aroma..the chocolate is obvious..very appetizing.
Nice refreshing taste for a porter..a sting of sweet malt followed by long drawn out coffee/mocha taste..then a tinge of bitterness to finish off..very nice.
feels real nice on the palte not too watery.
a most excellent porter..very drinkable good beer.

Nov 23, 2005 Strong chocolate and coffee aroma. Deep brown to black in color with a small, but firm mocha head. Nice level of roastiness...coffee, burnt black chocolate and esspresso grounds. More than I expected from this flavor wise.
