The beer after its disemboguing the 12-ounce brown bottle sets in my glass of honor a deep brown to almost black color the head portly in size, the texture semi-creamy and the color a toothsome light tan with the resultant lace a satin sheet to lie upon the glass. Nose is sweet with malt, lightly toasted grain aroma also present, crisps and clean to the senses, start is somewhat sweet with a pleasing grain profile, and the top is middling to full in feel. Finish has a delectable hop spicy bite, the acidity pleasant and the aftertaste dry and linger, a very good porter and one I hope to enjoy quite often, now that its home to roost.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 18, 2003 Poured from a bottle--gorgeous tan, pocked head that lasts a long time; poised on top of a deep brown body with a reddish tint. Nice aroma with hints of cofee and maybe choclate. Fairly rich roasted chocolaty-coffee flavor. Almost full-bodied but just slightly "lite", in my opinion. Very nice brew overall though. jskendzel (602), Washington DC, USA
