Sep 9, 2007 Bottle - from sampler pack. Very dark - opaque. Rich, chocolatey smell. An excellent porter. Very rich flavor - roasty, but not overly so becoming a stout.

Mar 6, 2006 I cannot believe how many people have dismissed this gem. A beautiful color with a lasting small head, yet little lacing. A taste of balance is evident throughout and with a slightly bitter toffee finish. A much dryer taste and body than many American Porters which means this beer’s flavor is distinct and very drinkable. Surely a thinner porter, almost more akin to lighter dark German beers. This beer would work as a perfect companion to spicy foods. Recommended for sure.

Sep 10, 2006 (355 ml bottle at The Rover) Clear deep ruby red color, big tan lasting head. Fresh hoppy, but also chocolate scent. Very fresh, like crisp vegetables, intial taste, transforming into smooth chocolate and ending in a bitter and roasted after taste. Medium low bitterness, smooth mouth feel.

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.

Nov 29, 2008 Poured from 12oz bottle into pint glass.
Aroma - Roasted malt with chocolate and coffee
Appearance - Dark brown with ruby tinges. Virtually no head at all.
Flavor - Milky chocolate and coffee with a nice floral hop on the finish
Palate - Medium on the mouthfeel. Not as slick as many porters. Very clean on the finish thanks to the balance of malt and hops.
Overall - This is very tasty. Could definitely drink a few!

Feb 16, 2009 Really fantastic aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Looks good too with a very deep brown pour. The taste, while very good, doesn’t quite live up to the aroma. Mouth is rather thin. Overall, though a big winner.
