May 29, 2004 Black black black black black in color with a charred malty aroma that continues into the sip. Fizzy mouthfeel thatjust doesn’t sit well with me. If they tones down the char and the fizz, it would be wonderful.

Apr 7, 2004 Pours nearly black with a thick tan head that mostly disappears. I totally agree with CaptainCougar: aroma is burnt popcorn and caramel. Thin body for a porter. Sourness in the flavor. Finish mildly reminiscent of wet cigarette butts. Yeah.

Apr 5, 2004 No real head, lets a little light through. Aroma of cherries, coffee and alcohol. Very bitter, sour - almost lemony.

Mar 17, 2004 Pours an almost black, dark brownish color with a thick tan head. Has a burned butter popcorn and caramel malt aroma. Body starts lightly sweet with some cookie dough finishes semi-dry and earthy. Just doesn't have the complexity and balance I like.
