Jul 2, 2005 I am not going to add much to what’s already been said. I am a porter fan, but the vaguely pastryish/doughy aroma alluded to in another review interfered with the experience of the beer. Overall it was a decent beer, but I would not order it again.

Jun 27, 2005 Dark red, thin head. Ripe cherries in aroma. Frothy, medium mouthfeel. Cherries, chocolate and hints of roast. Clean finish. Good, but not very complex.

Jun 25, 2005 At NJ Craft Brew Fest 2005: A great porter, I think the only true dark ale available that day (though, it was 92 degrees, so i guess thats ok.) A solid beer that I would definitely want to return to again. Has a hearty flavor that many porters lack.

Jun 17, 2005 Pours dark brown, with a tan/white head. Aromas of chocolate, brown sugar, coffee, and roasted malt. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Body is medium. This is a pretty good regular, everyday type of porter.

May 15, 2005 Nearly black pour with nearly no head - mildly sweet aroma with brown sugar, coffee, some cookie/pastry-ish smell - very roasty flavor, some sweetness up front, some plum and chocolate - smooth mouthfeel - a very solid porter, but it doesn’t really stand out.

May 14, 2005 Cask. Dark brown with a huge tan head.
Mild roasted malt aroma with a bit of coffee. Flavor was the same as the aroma. Coming from the hand pumped cask, the beer was incredibly smooth
but a bit too mild in flavor.

Apr 18, 2005 Bottle from Lou18. Deep chestnut colored with a nice tan head. Good lacing. Enticing aroma of chocolate and nuts, a bit estery. Medium bodied. Good carbonation. Nice chocolate sweetness up front in flavor, hops pick up towards the end to provide a subtle bitterness for balance. Decent.
