Jan 9, 2007 Dark brown; hints of read. Offwhite to light brown head. I actually liked the aroma more than most here. Chocolate and malt. Earthy. Can’t believe this is so low; not saying it is amazing, but very solid porter. Dominated by chocolate; but hints of malt and roasted coffee. Would have liked a fuller flavor; maybe a little light for the style. But definitely would drink again.

Mar 26, 2008 on tap @ Brew Kettle, a nice deep dark brown, almost black with light coming through the edges. taste is spot on for porter, coffee, chocolate, roast, malt.. mouthfeel is rather light but easy to drink, not overpowering at all. good. not great.

Dec 22, 2008 Pours an almost black color and has a brown head. Aroma is like most porters. This one focuses on the chocolate and roasted dark malts. Flavor has some coffee and a lot of chocolate to it. It is a smooth porter and not offensive to even the most mild sensibility. Not a robust porter as a previous reviewer noted (my archetype of that porter style is smuttynose). Overall quite nice. Great Divide does not like to disappoint.

Jan 15, 2008 Bottle. Nearly black in color with a creamy, slightly off-white head. Rich aroma of roasted malts, coffee and bitter chocolate. with the hops lurking in the background. Nice, smooth creamy palate and flavor of those same malts and bitter chocolate plus a bit of hop bitterness for good measure. I enjoy a good porter and this is a very tasty example.

Dec 18, 2007 Deep reddish brown with small brown head and small lacing. Light aroma is roasty with chocolate. Flavor is similarly roasty with nice malts, hops and chocolate notes.

Mar 17, 2008 Black color with quickly dissipating head. Nice roasted chocolate molasses and coffee aroma. Taste is similar with a little more coffee bitterness at the finish. Mid to thin body with soft mouthfeel.

Dec 28, 2007 Black with brown to garnet highlights. Smell of chocolate and coffee from the malts. Sweet like flavor in the taste just not quite robust. Still pretty good.

Jan 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with small tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee. Flavor is coffee, roasted malts, and hints of chocolate. Flavor is not really robust, but it is well balanced. The mouthfeel is a little thin, almost watery but well carbonated and still pleasant. A solid porter, but not outstanding.
