Aug 23, 2009 Served in an imperial pint from a tap at 3 Floyds, there was not much of a head atop this deep brownish black brew. Whiffs of roasted coffee and chocolate invite a sip which confirms my nostrils’ findings. While the malts dominate, the hops keep it balanced and enjoyable.

Aug 22, 2009 Aroma is chocolate, a touch of smoke, dark malts, cocoa, and sugar.
Appearance is rich mahogany with no real head to speak of.
Taste is thin chocolate, some maltiness, sourness, and smoke (also umami).
Finish is sweet and smooth. Very faint hop presence.
Drinkable and true to style

Aug 21, 2009 Compliments of DuffmanSW also enjoyed with mspindler. Dark black with brown tasty head. Aroma of coffee and cinnamon. Taste is smokey, roasted coffee, dusty, sweet fruits. Medium body that’s very nice. Most porters I have had are usually really thin. Overall very good porter, one of the best I’ve had.

Aug 21, 2009 I had this at Bar Louie in Novi with BeerBaron617 the other night. It was from a pretty fresh keg, so it was especially tasty. I am slowly growing in to porters and stouts, and this one proves to make the grade for me at this time.
A great black pour with a medium tan head that leaves quickly. It’s got a great aroma of chocolate and coffee, typical of porters, and the nose translated to the taste. Very great body/mouth feel, not too thick, not too thin, just right. It’s got a great flavor.

Aug 20, 2009 Had this at the Pinhook, Durham, NC. Very roasted taste and aroma. Flavour held many classic Porter elements in place and conducted it’s execution on my tastebuds in style.
