Sep 16, 2005 Typical black pour, smallish head. Typical roast aroma with chocolate and coffee. A little weaker than usual. Got better as it warmed a little. Flavor is a small step above the aroma with a roasty bitterness. This brewery sure has a thing with adding hops to everything. I don’t mind having a hopped out porter, but all together this came off as slightly metallic yet strangely smooth. Blah. Not bad, not great. I’ll stick with their stouts and IPAs.

Sep 17, 2005 Bottle. Pours a deep, amber-hued black with a pillowy tan head. The aroma is mostly chocolate with a touch of roasty malts. There is quite a bit of chocolate in the flavor, too, along with some fresh coffee and roasted malts. There is a finish of very earthy hops. A fine porter, this, though the palate is a bit thin and prickly.

Jan 9, 2008 12 oz. bottle pours a black color which turns garnet when held up to a lamp. Slight tan head. Blackened malt, bittersweet chocolate smell. Light to medium bodied. Dark toasted malt taste with toffee and coffee flavors. Finishes with a bitter burnt malt taste.
This beer didn’t do anything for me.

Apr 16, 2006 A faint chocolate and toffee aroma. The appearance is a brownish/black color with a small head. The flavor contains a tad bit of smoke with some coffee and chocolate. The mouthfeel is a bit thin with a rather neutral finish. Not bad
