A black-colored liquid the head was initially large.
Pleasant aroma of roasted malt with hints of coffee and smoke. The taste, was pleasant, some coffee and chocolate but also a little smoke. Perhaps a bit thin, but quite ok to drink anyway. Not advanced but solid and pleasant. ditmier (1053), Boise, Idaho, USA

Still a nice porter with a coffee and chocolate flavor. nickd717 (1330), Palo Alto, California, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 29, 2009 Dark brown ale, impressive lace - a nice hybrid of traditional british and nontraditional american porter styles - chocolate sweetness and somewhat debittered black malts - quite a bit of roast that works well with the american hop profile - creamy in the mouth - medum bodied - a nice balance of sweetness, roast, and bitterness - a fairly solid porter. boFNjackson (1262), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2009 Bottle... Poured near black with a big, creamy, beige head. Big toasted malt nose with a nutty, chocolate presence. Lots of carbonation on this one with noticeable coffee and mocha flavors up front. Delicate hops and big malts took over before the coffee finish. Hopper (295), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2009 A dark brown beer with a ridiculous size head, in fact too big. The aroma is roasted & the taste is also with chocolate taste being the most dominant.
