Mar 26, 2009 Sampled at the GD tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 3.26.09. Dark brown pour with a medium tan head. Semi-roasted malt aroma with a bit of chocolate. Malty chocolate flavor with lots of coffee and some hop in the finish. A bit hoppy for a porter, but not too over the top.

Mar 14, 2009 Cola/rootbeer/chocolate aroma. Smells like the chocolate Cokes you can buy (or could buy?) at county fairs. Nice cocoa powder flavor. Rich and well balanced. Good porter.

Mar 8, 2009 Comes out of the tap a nearly opaque reddish sable with a decent head. Rich aroma is smoky with nutty and cinnamon hints and an undertone of chocolate. Mouth-filling flavor is chocolaty and smoky; it has nutty, spicy and malt hints, as well as a touch of hop bitterness. Lively and smooth texture leaves a tingly, slightly sweet, mocha aftertaste.

Mar 7, 2009 Not bad at all! Very dark brown, almost black color. Has a nice malt scent with hints of coffee and some type of fruits in it. Tastes of malts and fruits. Nice and smooth finish with the regret that I wish I had more. This is my first great divide and I’m sure that there will be more to come.

Mar 5, 2009 I also had this porter with pot roast. I thought this was a little too hopped for this type of beer. Did I just say that?

Mar 4, 2009 Dark on the pour. Nose has hints of roasted caramel and coffee ground. Finishes a bit dry with an aftertaste that leaves you missing something.

Feb 27, 2009 Pretty decent porter. Roasty muted coffee like flavor with a kick of hops. Quite malty, but not overdone. Nice.
