A nose that is nothing spectacular...barley and a bit of roasted smokiness. A light head...but the coal black finish promises treasures awaiting. Tastes of roasted coffee toned barley with the merest hint of butternut vanilla, of all bloody things. The mouth comes alive with malts, hops, and the smooth warmth of alcohol. Damned good.-+++++++++++++++++++++++

tap @ brewery. Good deep black pour with nice tan head. Toasty malts and burnt espress aromas are first noticed but finishes with a vanilla piney touch. The medium bodied brew is easily quaffable and shows a light fruit quality to combine with the chocolate and espresso notes. A good brew.

Pours nearly black, with a frothy, well-sustained tan head - dry, roasted malt aroma, with a lot of cocoa - fizzy, full carbonation in the mouth - quite dry, bitter and roasty, with a touch of berry-like fruity character breaking through the notes of espresso and tobacco leaves - develops some vanilla/cream sweetness late, but remains balanced until the finish, where it gets a little strong, with long lingering chocolate flavors - decent.

Thanks to my wife for bringing this one back from Seattle. Worth the trip. I liked this one. Deep dark pour with a brown foamy head. I didn’t get much smoke in the aroma, but the maltiness had that chocolate/bitter coffee aroma and taste. Very little hops spice. Good beer

Very dark brown pour with a medium to big tannish head. Typical porter flavors of chocolate, coffee and caramel and a little smokiness to offset. Interesting take on Porter, and pretty solid overall.

Bottle from new beer. Pours dark brown black body with 2 finger rocky tan head. Caramel, roasty coffee, some light hop aroma. Minerals a bit of calcium and a hint of smoke. Decent porter.
