| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 25, 2008 Black, a little cloudy, with great lacing. Tastes Guinness-like with chocolate, coffee, smoke. Creamy and characterful, long finish, tons of flavour. Really nice. Strykzone (1501), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 11, 2008 Black with a full tan head that became a ring. This beer offers well roasted malt. In my opinion it was over roasted and overpowered the coffee and chocolate. I love a good porter but this went over the top. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 18, 2008 Growler courtesy of Pepsican. Big roasted malt aroma, light tart notes, chocolate and coffee. The body is full on black and holds a thinnish tan head. The first sip is all bitter black chocolate and roasted/burnt malt flavors. Coffee, espresso even, is also very prominent. The finish is intensely coffee/dark chocolate accented with some off-putting ashy notes. On the whole a fairly robust porter that has more roasted accents than the norm.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 13, 2008 Very thick, chewy porter with lots of roast malt and coffee flavor. The only thing keeping this from being higher is it feels a bit unbalanced on the roasted end--but still a unique porter. phishpond417 (1953), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 18, 2008 Full bodied, black porter, lots of roasted coffee aromas. Dark brown head smelled hoppy, and it had a very malty aroma. the finish was long and dry on the palate. esjaygee (1581), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 11, 2008 Black with a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee and smoke. Thick, rich and flavorful taste of roasted malts, coffee with a mild bitter finish and a bit of sweetness to it as well. One of the better efforts of the brewpub. rudolf (1787), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 18, 2008 Really rich toffee & caramel nose, some milkiness. Flavor is a hint of burnt malt, a whole bunch of chocolate & toffee and quite hoppy. Ibrew2or3 (2833), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA

Smells awesome right from the start. I get rich dark roasted malts, some burnt malts, burnt toast, roasted coffe beans and graham crackers. The taste starts with mildly dark roasted malts and quickly ramps up into rich roastiness, burnt malts, dark roasted coffee and toasted bread. The roasty taste just goes on and on deep into the after taste. I start to wonder if this is more a stout in style.
