Dec 21, 2008 Bottle - Poured a clear brown in color with a small white head that faded to almost nothing. Aroma is malty with hints of dark roasted malts and prunes/dates. Flavor is smoky and fairly sweet with dark fruits and surprisingly strong of cherries. Finishes rather bitter and slightly astringent. An OK beer...

Dec 17, 2008 Bottle from sampler. Pours dark brown with nice frothy head. Good lacing. Aroma was of sweet plum, toasted chocolate, and roasted malt. Upon tasting, I swear I went through the whole bottle not getting a good impression of this beer. I guess that says something. Body is too light for my liking. Flavor leaned sweet, with some apparent hop character.

Dec 5, 2008 From a 12 oz bottle pours a dark brown - not quite black with a thin head that did not linger - minimal lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, malts and toffee. Tasted a smokey hop with chocolate, some caramel as well as the hints of toffee. Seemed a little thinner and more carbonated than some other higher quality porters I have enjoyed. A decent beer. The label was the best part - got a chuckle from that.
