Dec 26, 2006 (Tap) Pours a very dark brown color with a small beige head. Coffee aroma and taste, with some burnt caramel in the taste as well. A good and balanced porter, which really makes the beer. Mouthfeel is a little thin for the style, but still a good brew.

Jun 18, 2006 Fantastic porter. Aroma is mild hops and toast. Mouthfeel is thin-medium, with low carbonation - perfect. The flavor is alarmingly refreshing, particularly for a dark beer. Tastes of minerals, earth, dark chocolate, burnt marshmallows. I’m describing a s’more made outdoors, I guess. Great beer, my favorite porter, and I wish I could get this in a bottle.

May 15, 2006 On tap at the Fitchburg location. The midnight black porter came in a small sampler glass with almost no head. From the aroma I picked up hints of expresso beans, malt and vanilla. The taste was straight up black coffee with a tinge of hazelnut and vanilla. Eventually a light fruity taste revealed itself as well in the subtle hoppiness. It felt a little thin but overall it was still very satisfying for a porter.

Apr 23, 2006 Pours black with tan head that fades quickly. Strong aroma of dark chocolate and coffee with a peanut butter finish. Flavor is mostly dark chocolate with some maltiness. Too chocolatey for me.

Oct 27, 2005 Dark black. Actually quite what I thought a porter should be here. Not over the top with its malt flavors but rather subtle. Oatmeal and chocolate. Caramel, roasted flavors. Nice touch without being heavy handed.
