Jan 24, 2008 Pours dark brown with a medium head. In the glass it’s just slightly opaque, with a little burgundy highlites showing through when held up to the light. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and dark malts with a fair amount of (sour) fruit; plums and cherries. Medium-heavy body. Semi-sweet fruity finish.

Jan 19, 2008 Updated: Jan 24, 2009650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a deep dark, almost opaque, brown color with a big tan head. The head lasts the duration of the drink and never completely fades away. The aroma is medium-light and slightly sweet with dates, raisins and plums. The flavor is a bit subdued and is characterized by burnt toast, coffee, chocolate malt and earth. The mouthfeel is very full and creamy. The finish is long in duration with lingering mocha coffee flavors and a heavy malt palate. Overall: This is a better than average porter, very malty, but I can not help but feel that the barrel aging mellowed this one just a bit too much and took away its big bold edge. Recommended.

Jan 13, 2008 On tap @ the Stone World Bistro. Pours deep amber brown with thin tan head. The aroma is roasty and mildly sweet and doesn’t seem to have a hint of the burnt malts I come to expect from a Porter but abundantly present I the flavor. The taste if full rich malt roastiness that steers toward being burnt and charred. The flavor blends from roasty to burnt from front to back of the experience. Full flavored Porter that includes mild molasses and a hint of pine hops.

Jan 8, 2008 Bottled. Transparent dark brown and maroon edges with little head, mostly just mircobubbles and fizz. Sweet chocolate and oat mostly in the aroma, along with creamed coffee and a slight hint of the barrel. Flavors lean towards the sweeter end with sugary burnt caramel, dates, and smoke. Subtle barrel-aging influence holds it together pretty well. Not mind-blowing though; but the average score was tuned right for this brew in my opinion. Good beer.
