Had certainly put a few away by the time this was rolled out, but it still managed to show its worth. Really nice chocolate aroma, with a pinch of coffee thrown in. Smooth flavour, with plenty of depth belying the modest abv. Unfortunately my notes are rather thin, but the beer certainly wasn’t. Love to try this again.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle. Very dark colour with a medium sized tan head. Roasted malt aroma with hints of chocolate. Taste is roasted, chocolate and coffee with some smoke. Medium-bodied and smooth mouthfeel. Sweet and chocolaty aftertaste. Delicious, well-balanced brew.

Sep 6, 2008 16 oz. can: Pour is clear dark with a creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, sweet brown sugar, and a little cream. Has a very creamy mouth feel. Low carbonation. Flavors include a full roasted barley, lightly sweet chocolate malt, light cream. Damn fine brew. Full flavored and smooth. Would buy again.

Sep 4, 2008 On tap. Poured black with ruby edges, off white head, fully diminishing. Aromas of chocolate, burnt malt, cinnamon. Flavour is initially sweet, and some hops come through. Finishes quite bitter. Sweeter for a porter but nicely hopped and well blended flavours.

Sep 1, 2008 Nice Creamy Porter. Very Dark Pour. Medium Head. Roasty malts. Dark Coffee with heavy cream taste. Very drinkable porter. I think this would go very well with food that is sweet. Would be a good base in a long cook dish or a braise.
