Mar 27, 2005 Deep rich color with a medium tan head. Nice roastiness and malt sweetness...a coffee and chocolate toffee aftertaste. A little cloying on the tongue...not particularly refreshing or warming. Average to average+. Not bad.

Oct 29, 2007 Sampler at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/frankf Liquors, Frankfort. Great, um, "robust" appearance. A little lighter smell, not too many roasties in evidence. However, the taste is nice and mellow. A smooth porter drink with a nice clean finish.

Oct 4, 2004 This porter poured a dark brown with hints of orange shining through the edge of the glass. Nice Aroma. The nose is full of chocolate, lots of chocolate. Roasted Coffee as well as some less assertive hops. My guess would be Northern Brewer.
The first flavor that hit me was alcohol which was very bizarre. Chocolate was apparent in the mid-palate. Small flavors of expresso but not as apparent as I usual like my Porters to have. Some caramel and toffee but mostly just chocolate. The chocolate was too dominant. Poor finish as well. The flavor doesn’t "linger" along. More like a medium bodied Porter. Certainly should not be classified as robust.

Jan 29, 2007 Saint Bridget can work her magic on my bathtub any day if this is what she’ll fill it up with. Smokey and roasty all the way. The pour was a dark brown with a light brown head. The aroma was a little weak but the taste made up for it. All roasted malt with a bitter dry aftertaste that stays with you. It’s been some time since I’ve had a porter this smokey. Nice.

Dec 11, 2004 Pour is a nice black. Aroma hits you full on with chocolate malts. Flavor is like a chocolate bar in your mouth. Very sweet and chewy. A nice try with this style.

Oct 28, 2008 See through black with lots of ruby and two fingers of active large bubbles in a tan head lots of roasted coffee and malt aroma and some bitter cocoa beans. Light body, a roasted malt taste with a finish of chocolate and coffee bitterness.

Oct 24, 2003 Pours very dark brown, almost black, almost opaque, no head. Roast malts, some chocolate and coffee, a hint of plums. Flavor starts with some chocolate, finishes up with the coffee. Well bodied, though there is a sharp, almost metallic pang. Not to shabby of a porter.
