Jan 23, 2008 12oz bottle poured in a tulip glass. FDRDSP pours black as ink with a piddley little head. The aroma heavy on the malt and sweet liquor. Chocolate and butterscotch can be detected as well. This is a very aromatic beer. The body is surprisingly carbonated and light. The taste is a complete surprise as well. The first thing you taste is a sourness that made me initially think I got a bad beer. After that quick jolt comes a harsh baker’s chocolate flavor tempered with malt. I think this beer misses its potential.

Jan 21, 2008 Dark, clear ruby color shows from light shining through. Appears brown from a distance with a fizzy brown head that rapidly disappears. The body is ok, but a little weak for a porter. A decent roasted flavor does come through making it worthwile.

Jan 18, 2008 Headless dark pour. Chocolate aroma. Flavor is chocolate bitterness. There is another note here which I wouldn’t necessarily call licorice (like in the commercial description) as I know it, however I can’t think of a better word to describe it. Otherwise fairly average.

Jan 16, 2008 From a bottle. Dark pour that looks nice but that is about all the excitement I got out of it.

Jan 9, 2008 Nice beer. Not the most astounding beer ever made, but enjoyable, nice pour, nice color and aroma. Good drink. Relaxing on a cold night.

Jan 6, 2008 Bottle from my beer club. Poured a nice deep caramel-brown color with a thin and quickly-dissipating tan head. Aroma is somewhat sweet, like soda. Taste is slightly malt, slightly smoke, and a whole lot of nothing. Finish was non-existent. This was a total drain pour for me and another miss from Flying Dog.

Jan 5, 2008 A bottle from a Christmas variety pack. It poured a dark brown almost like a cola. There was a thin head that disappeared quickly. The aroma again reminded me of a cola. It had a bit of a smokey flavor. It seemed a bit watery or thin to me not much flavor or much of a finish
