Oct 5, 2004 Appearance: deep black color, short, tan head.
Aroma: interesting, ...ripe with dark fruits, raisins, dates, a hint of anise, not much more, a bit light, missing the usual coffee/chocolate connotations.
Taste: high carbonation, little impact on the palate, negligible finish. Hardly as hearty as I demand out of a porter...too light in body, too little in the texture...misses the depth and flavor I expect...but I’ll give it it’s due, and not put it up against great standards. A nicely quaffed, easy, mellow-flavored, session-brew porter.

Sep 7, 2004 Good porters are hard to find and this is a good porter and frankly way underrated. Has a subtle malt and chocolate aroma with a nice chocolate flavor with a mild smokiness. Robust but yet easy drinking. Creamy soft mouthfeel. Well done.

Aug 24, 2004 Nice malty smoky aroma. Chocolate malts. Dark brown clear with thin off-white head. Medium-bodied with light carbonation. Light malty start, with roasty acidic tang, chocolate, coffee. Medium bitter after and finish. Light alcohol, fruity after.

Aug 21, 2004 This beer rocks! I love it! ... Crystal clear, dark, crimson ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. The nose is of vanilla, milk chocolate and Kahlua. Nice, roasty flavor with plenty of balance. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. World class brew. Underrated!

Aug 6, 2004 Dark ruby body with an extremely cola looking head. The aroma is roased malt, some sweetness, and a bit of citrus hops. The flavor is very malty, dry roasted malt primarily, with some sweetness. Not very complex. Body is a bit on the light side.

Aug 5, 2004 Deep brown. Nice foamy tan head. Creamy mouthfeel, smooth. Typical porter nose with sweet chocolate and mild roastiness. Sweet on the tongue, milky, chocolatey, cookie-ish. Reminiscent of an oatmeal stout at times. Very subdued hop presence. Bigger than most with lots of traits resembling a sweet stout, but unfortunately becomes less and less interesting sips after sips. Complexity is just lacking.
