Aug 14, 2008 bottle at the Flying Saucer in Charlotte. small tan head (mostly lasting) into black body. aromas of moderate bitter but sweet malts (some molasses). flavor is pretty much the same (moderately bittersweet throughout. did have a long, long, long finish duration and a creamy mouthfeel. enjoyable for what it was.

Jun 20, 2008 Draught @ Great Lost Bear. Rich black with slight red tint. Diacetyl abundant in nose, on background of black cherries. Low carbonation, soft mouthfeel. Not roasty, slightly sweet. Thin and watery and slightly sweet but still manages to retain a good malt character and so is more decent than it seemed at first.

Jun 16, 2008 12oz bottle. dark black, small head which quickly disappears. aroma of sweet chocolate. very sweet creamy taste, with a very slight dry bitterness in the finish. good but just seems to be missing something.

Jun 3, 2008 maybe i got a bad batch or something...
looks great-very thick head with no lacing although even after it dies down there’s still a half-finger present. it’s got the standard toasted coffee and chocolate maltiness, but i taste something plastic. in a few there was a very prominent lactic sourness that made it difficult to sip. i donno. i like geary’s and i love porters, but i can’t seem to get into this one.

May 19, 2008 Ok, not world rattling. It’s a nice beer with a full aroma of dark malts, and some coffee. It is a very dark brown-black color, with a rather absent head. It tastes of dark barley malts, coffee, a minor bit of chocolate. I found it to be a bit laborious to finish, not entirely smooth.
