Nov 22, 2009 On tap at Rattle n Hum. Pours a clear cola brown with a medium to thick creamy light mocha head. Light roast and chocolate malt with a touch of caramel.. Nice roast, char, and light coffee flavors. Finishes up with a bit of warming alcohol, some roast, and a little bit more char.

Nov 7, 2009 This beer was very average. I was expecting more adter seeing this rating of 80. It’s almost like ’porter lite’. Everything from the color to the light mouthfeel to the simple finish. A good porter should be darker, have a strong roasted malt flavor, and a complex palate. This beers lacks any true character. Worth only a sip.

Nov 3, 2009 Pours dark brown with Cola highlights and an off-white head. Light aroma is slightly bready, with some dark malt. Flavor is big on roastiness, and coffee with a touch of vanilla and smoke. Not bad.

Nov 3, 2009 Smooth, light, chocolate... Pours pretty light in color for a porter, too. Easy to drink and the maltiness comes through well - but that’s one of the only hints you get that this is a porter. Like a porter-lite!

Nov 2, 2009 Pours like Coca-cola from the 22oz. bottle: Light carbonation. Coffee beans, toffee hard candy, hazelnut, milk chocolate. Balanced. Sweet. Quite good, bit thin. Drinkability: Pleasant, but I miss the heavy, full bodied smoke that follows with other craft porters. Rebuy: Sure. #180 on 02112009, DG.

Oct 19, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Triangle Plaza, Raleigh, NC. Pours a clear very dark brown color with a thin brown head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is chocolatey and nutty with tea and roasted malts. Taste is roasted malts, nuts, chocolate and a faint leafiness. Medium bodied. Decent, but a little underwhelming.
