Pours deep brown-black with a thick tan-brown head. Aroma is mostly smoky coffee-chocolate. Flavor is sweet at first, with more of the coffee and chocolate, finishing fry and smoky. Could use to be thicker, otherwise nice.

Brown, clear with beige head.
Lovely aroma of chocolate, charamel, and bitter hops.
Not a very full or "dark" roasted porter, but easy drinking, and I really like this one.

Dec 24, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Split with James. Pours deep, onyx black, settling out to a very dark chicory brown. Aroma of coffee, brown sugar, barley, roasted malts, and hints of nutmeg. Medium bodied for a porter. Rich, sweet finish. Decent.

Dec 21, 2009 Always looking to try a porter. This stuff is black and roasty, kinda like cold coffee. Have not found a porter better than Stone yet.

Dec 20, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a small quickly disapating head. The aroma is roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is bold with malt, coffee, and chocolate. Slight bitterness with (sugar?)plums and burnt sugar in the aftertaste. Quite a nice porter.

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.

Dec 11, 2009 BOTTLE: dark brown pour, off white head. Big chocolate and coffee nose. Taste is malty, carbonated (maybe a little too much), coffee/roasty, a little hop kick. Good stuff.
