Aug 25, 2009 Pours a very dark chestnut brown color with dark ruby edges and a tan foamy head that settles into a nice lacing. Very roasty malt aroma with hints of chocolate, coffee and nut. Very smooth roasted malt flavor with coffee, chocolate, oatmeal, toffee, smoke and hops. Slightly hoppy up front giving way to creamy malt center and a dry, bitter and slightly smokey finish

Dec 28, 2008 Dark brown pour into thick tan frothy and lingering creamy head which dissipates into heavy lacings on the glass. Balanced aroma of sweet chocolate and roasted coffee malts. Initial flavor of sweet malty and dark malty chocolate barley hoppiness which quickly fades to lingering smoked malty finish.

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours near-black with a medium-brown head. Aroma of rich, bold coffee and dark chocolate. Flavor is a very well-balanced mix of coffee and cocoa. Most porters have these characteristics, but very few strike the balance perfectly as this one does. Creamy mouthfeel and overall excellent beer.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle. Nose is sweet and slightly acidic chocolate and coffee. There’s something mildly fruity in there as well, sort of a cherry or raspberry aroma. Great looking brown head that laces nicely atop a nearly black bear with a light ruby tint. Good body, extremely smooth and robust. It carries across a well-rounded flavor profile touching on a chocolate acidity, some coffee roast and bitterness, and just a touch of citrus hops. Very well done.

Mar 23, 2008 Excellent American style porter from Great Divide. Flavors were rich and chocolately but no overbearing. Smooth and not overpowering due to the 6% abv. Poured dark with a nice frothy head.
