Sep 26, 2003 Updated: Nov 7, 2004Pours with a four-finger tan head that fades slowly leaving a clumpy lace. Black - totally opaque. Good carbonation, heavy bodied not thin as rated in Sep2003. I think it is fresher this time. Nose is a smokey roasted coffee. Starts with a roasted sweetness and finishes like a roasted coffee. $1.29 for a 12oz bottle from the Liquor Barn, Lexington, KY.

Feb 12, 2006 Small light tan head on top of a mahogany colored body, good clarity. Head retention is fair with a small amount of sagging lace. Nose is coffeeish with light cocoa notes to boot. Body is med/light, lightly oily. Coffee and chocolate flavors up front with a light roastiness, berry flavors and a hint of charcoal, maybe a bit of black patent astringency. Finish is almost dry with light roasty notes.

Aug 23, 2009 Another really incredible beer from the brewers at Great Divide. As I was drinking this, do they really make a bad beer? I’d sure love to keep drinking their stuff and find out.
This pours out a rich dark brown color, nearly black with some garnet edges and a thick tan head. Aroma is an explosion of chocolate, caramel, dark fruits with some light coffee and smoke. Flavor really brings the mocha notes, with strong choco-coffee goodness. Didn’t really hit me with detectable hops, but the lingering bitterness reminded me of eating dark chocolate (maybe that was the hops). This is definitely a repeat.

Mar 12, 2008 Bottle thanks to dchmela. Pours dark brown with a thin beige head. The aroma is nutty, smoke, and roasted malt. The taste is dominated by a roasted malt, with some bitter dark chocolates and a hint of dark fruit. A good porter.

May 22, 2007 Dark brown pour with a medium head. Roasty aroma with some coffee detectable. Taste is roasty with some coffee - very dry, to the point of being somewhat metallic. Could (and should) be alot better.
