Aug 5, 2006 Pours black with ruby edges and a thick light brown head. Roastiness, mocha and prominent piney hop aroma. Very nice - notes of chocolate, roastiness, grapefruit/citrus and pine. Ends with a little ash-like flavor. Very interesting - kind of like a porter/schwarzbier hybrid made with Pacific NW hops, neat. Medium creamy body with a very smooth texture and moderate carbonation. Great lacing and head retention. Excellent.

Jul 30, 2006 via trade with OhioDad - Pours a brown color with a big time light tan head. Nice lacing as the head settles. Very light roasted malt aroma. Has a typical porter type flavor. Light dark roasted malt. Leans toward the dry side. Medium body. Very nice. Thanks Scott.

Jul 28, 2006 Rye, rye , and more rye. Pours somewhat of a weak porter. Aroma is you guess it rye with a slight of malts. Taste rounds out with a a touch of bitter malts. I could see why most would enjoy it yet not my type, however did pick up on the dry hops.

Jul 25, 2006 Enjoyable - I’m not sure if it turned out the way they intended it, but it’s good. Fairly light despite the dark color, it’s similar to a stout but lighter, less roasted, and more mild overall. Some roasted flavors, yes, but other malt characteristics are present as well. Good.
