Dec 18, 2007 Bottle from trade with Odeed. Pours black with a thin creamy off-white head. Light chocolate and roasty aromas influenced by a grainy character. Didn’t get a lot of espresso on the nose. Nice taste - slightly sweet roastiness tinged with a light nuttiness and a hint of coffee. The finish is mild roast and is dry. A nice mild, dry porter that goes down easy.

Dec 18, 2007 Pretty nice and easy tastey brew. Aroma of dark and roasted malts and some light coffee. Taste is sweet from coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Pretty smooth overall.

Dec 17, 2007 YEHA, very dark brown with some ruby highlights at the bottom of the glass. Aroma is chocolate, with light notes of ashy black patent. Taste is mildly roasty, with chocolate and light caramel sweetness. Light to medium bodied. Finished with light roast, and a mild hop bitterness.

Dec 16, 2007 Tan soapy head with a coal black color. Rasoted malts and caramel in the aroma. Bourbon, espresso, and roasted malts make up the flavor. A bit unbalanced to be a favorite porter of mine.

Dec 16, 2007 Madness@the Moose YEHA. Bottle provided by Jasonmech, thanks. Black body with a tan head. Aroma is lightly hoppy and faintly roasty. It is a very easy drinking porter with light cocoa sweetness. It’s not heavy on any chocolate or roast with light hops. A well balanced light porter.

Dec 16, 2007 On tap at Stone Brewing. A bit of malt on the nose. Black pour with creamy tan head and lace. A bit of a bready flavor and dry with a bit of a cloying after taste and a very good smooth easy light bitter. Carbonation is a bit agressive and palate is a bit thin. Overall good porther thate suffered some from the porter I had before it.

Dec 1, 2007 Deep, dark brown color. Creamed-coffee nose. Texture was light and smooth; carbonation livened up toward the finish. Many flavors swirled about, such as roasted grains, caramel, sweetened coffee and milk chocolate. Hop aromas followed nicely and melded well, but the bitterness didn’t seem to keep up. Overall, I thought it was a good beer, but it was a bit too sweet for my buds.

Nov 24, 2007 Thanks to drmatt (I think) for sharing this porter. Pours very dark brown with a crimson hue and soapy tan head. The aroma has light coffee, dark vanilla, milk chocolate and some oak. Medium / smooth body with a small amount of carbonation. The flavor starts with the aroma qualities and has a spritziness to the taste. The finish brings out a bit of bitterness. A nicely crafted porter.
