Sep 7, 2001 Almost black; Roast & chocolate dominate the aroma; palate is very straightforward in its toastiness. A touch of creaminess in the body and very faint fruitiness round out this beer.

Oct 3, 2002 Beautiful deep red-brown with a nice tan head. The aroma is chocolate and red wine, quite inviting. Flavor is much the same, along with some roastiness and coffee, but a little weaker than I’d like. At times my mouth felt satisfied, but at others the sensation was watery.

Mar 25, 2007 12oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, and some caramel. Tastes of roast, burnt malts, and a light coffee finish. Drinkable porter that I found to be a tad on the ’boring’ side.

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.

Jun 29, 2009 Draught@Redbones, Boston. Pretty thin porter. Really not much happening. Some light roast, some green apple flavours, but not much else.

Aug 22, 2005 Pours brown with a nice tan head. Scents of nuts and chocolate come to light before anything else. Tastes of dark chocolate and nuts with a decent cherry like finish.
