Sep 25, 2003 Appearance: This pours Dark brown with reddish bricking.
Mouthfeel: This is a medium bodied beer with a slightly watery texture. It starts out a bit bitter and finishes surprisingly smoothly. Not bad, not great.

Jan 9, 2007 Dark brown; hints of read. Offwhite to light brown head. I actually liked the aroma more than most here. Chocolate and malt. Earthy. Can’t believe this is so low; not saying it is amazing, but very solid porter. Dominated by chocolate; but hints of malt and roasted coffee. Would have liked a fuller flavor; maybe a little light for the style. But definitely would drink again.

This is an ordinary porter. Quite malty and slightly roasted. Some bitterness in the end. It’s quite enjoyable and complex.

Oct 16, 2006 Bottled. Dark brown color with small creamy head. Sweet, mellow and very pleasant flavor with notes of roasted malts, leather and nuts. The flavor is lightly sweet but dryer than the aroma. The roasted character is comlex with chocolade, leather and nuts. Minerals and roasted malt in the finish. Very pleasant with wide range of roasted aromas and flavors.

Nov 5, 2006 Bottle. Black color with a huge lush creamy light brown head. A roasted, dry, burned malts, with a hint of chocolate in the aroma. Toasted malts, coffee and chocolaty flavor that finishs dry and with a touch of espresso.

Dark brown color, beneath a big, frothy head, which crackles and snaps. Go ahead and put it up to your ear! Aroma: essence of espresso and chocolate and some smooth spiciness. Taste: very smooth, very mellow, a lasting finish, and an abiding cocoa flavor. Carbonation’s higher than I like. A good porter, but could be better.

Jul 3, 2006 Thanks to whoever brought this to the 3rd Richmond Gathering, Numenor or Maniac? One of those beers that I’m not quite sure why I’d never tried it. Deep brown, slight head. Coffee and roast malt aroma. Flavor matched, good balance all around. Nice, if not spectacular.
