May 29, 2008 Color is deep brown. Lacy, beige head. Aroma is nicely coffeey, hoppy and roasty malty. Flavor is smoky, roasty malty with coffee and slightly fruity hoppy. Quite full-bodied and smoothly carbonated palate.

May 28, 2008 Updated: Sep 17, 200812 oz. bottle from John’s Grocery (Iowa City, IA). Poured a dark brown with some red notes in the light with a decent cocoa colored head that beings to dissipate to a thinner film. Aromas are amazing, consisting of chocolate and other roasted malts, coffee, and a bit of a lactose sweetness that I can smell very easily. Wonderful. Initial taste is of dark rich roasted malts with a chocolatey smoothness that follows. A bit of a bitter coffee finish that ends up smooth and memorable, with an aftertaste that is similiar to the whole taste progression of the entire brew. A medium to heavy bodied brew that feels ich, but still possibly sessionable for someone else that might love darker roasted malts more than I. Still, a top notch brew that I’m glad I tried and still near my tops, despite being a beer style I don’t venture to often. Cheers.

May 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with aromas of coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. A bit thin on body and aroma, though. Flavor is thin, but nicely mixes the tastes associated with the aromas mentioned above. Not bad, but I expected some sort of epiphany or something, so I’m a little disappointed. Seems to lack some of the ABV and plot complexity of my favorite porters.

May 26, 2008 Updated: Jul 3, 2008As dark as ruby can get.Thin off white lacing head. Espresso, malt and mild fruit on the nose. Nice, mildly roasted and gently smoked flavor. Really smooth with lots of character. Very even. Very drinkable. The Cary Grant(sorry I chose an American) of porters.

May 26, 2008 Pours dark brown with ruby highlights and a tan head. Sweet roasty aroma with hints of coffee. Roasted malt flavor with slight bitterness, coffee and chocolate. Medium to full body with mild carbonation and a smooth creamy mouthfeel. An excellent porter, one of the best I have had.

May 25, 2008 VERY nice porter...pretty much lived up to expectations. Served from the bottle in a pint glass...almost black, with ruby hints and a small, cola-like head that disappeared pretty quickly. Very easy-drinking, with nose and taste of chocolate, caramel, and brown sugar. Solid sessioner.
