| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Mar 15, 2008 12 oz. bottle shared with Matt7215, RyanMac13, and Beerguyryan. Thanks Matt! This was infinitely better than the porter I’d had before it. Aroma is much nicer, more porter-like, a tad roasty, but defined more by the sweeter elements like chocolate and molasses. Taste, very nice, noticeably more hoppy than other porters I’ve had, loaded with black liqorice and toffee. Very nice. It only looses points for over-carbonation, which had a negative effect on the mouth-feel. MtStateBeer (81), Hurricane, West Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 15, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown, creamy light brown head. Smells of chocolate and coffee, and tastes about the same. Good medium to full body with a creamy feel. Taste sticks around, which is nice. Beer Club favorite for March 2008 tasting.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 9, 2008 Visually a step above Blackout due to a creamy tan head, this beer pours a deep mahogany. Aroma is charcoal and Starbucks. Flavor is all porter, a little hops in there that made it unique but doesn’t have the richness of Olfabrikken or Alpha Klaus. Glad I had an opportunity to try.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Bottle poured into a tulip glass produced nice tan head that dwindled to a thick lace all set on top of a black body
Aromas of coffee and roasted malts a little chocolate and some hops
Sweet flavors of malts and coffee with a light hop bitter. This is a really well balanced in the flavor department
Medium body with a good amount of carbonation but still smooth
It has good drinkability I could handle a few of these a night
