Dec 17, 2005 Very nice robust porter overall. Sampled at the brewery @ GABF 05 week. Pours a very dark brown almost black with a light beige head. Aroma of lots of choclolate, caramel, toffee, and molasses. Some nuttiness in the flavor with more chocolate. Smooth lightly sweet finish.

Jun 27, 2006 Draft at Max’s.Opaque blackness. Small tan head. Nose is sweet with roasted malts, chocolate and light sweetened coffee aromas. Taste is sweet malts, almost a milk chocolatey type flavor, light roastiness, and sugared-and-creamed coffee. Body is light-medium and very creamy. Very smooth. Finishes with more sweet malts, pleasant roastiness, choco-notes and light coffee.

Nov 14, 2005 Pours a deep rusty black brown. Rocky pale tan head. Faintly smokey, olive, cocoa, coffee nose. Roasty ashen woody flavor, dark chocolate, nutty, earth, finishing with pleasant coffee like bitterness. Soft body and high drinkability make this easy going porter quite a session beer. Nicely balanced, decent.

Feb 22, 2004 Clear purple-brown body and smallish velvety light tan head. Fruity nose suggesting currants plus some chocolate and roasted character. Flavor is roasty up front with a prominent fruit and coffee sourness in the finish. A medium-bodied, unexceptional porter.

Mar 12, 2006 Pretty standard issue stuff here. Good, but nothing to brag about. Standard porter taste meaing coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, but with much more molasses.

Mar 18, 2003 Updated: Dec 28, 2004After a long rough day at the office, I came home to this brew. This was the first brew of the evening. Upon pouring it into my glass I notice a very small head from a very dark, but not opaque, brown color. It had a very nice strong malty odor. The initial taste hinted of carbonation but later died out. It had a mild initial malty taste that later came on a bit, but not much, stronger. The coffee flavor from this brew was not overpowering as in some I have tasted. I only felt a small feeling from the alcohol in the brew. It was not very strong, but rather on the mild side. I was not disappointed in my first brew of the evening. Cool, but what’s next? GF does not like the taste of coffee beers so she only took a taste of it, but said that it was milder in its coffee taste then some of the other brews she had tasted. Over all she gave it a 2 because of the coffee flavor. 8-5-8-5-16
2004: bottle rereate: taste was much worse than before way over carbonated and very tingly and gassy still an excellent aroma but the flavor just did not do the aroma justice 9-5-5-2-9
