Sep 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours very dark with only a thin sheath of head. Transmits only a little light, looks reddish-purple in the light. Aroma is of chocolate and coffee, smells delicious!! A long, complex flavor. Take your first sip carefully and think about it for a good minute. Very smooth, pretty well balanced. This is a GREAT porter!

Sep 29, 2009 Great dark brown/ruby color. Good flavor with a bit of coffee and chocolate hints. Nice finish that leaves a light burnt taste, which is not too heavy body.

Sep 17, 2009 Bottled at Monks Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Pours out in a dark brown, almost black colour with a small tan-coloured foam. Rich, complex and rounded aroma of dark coffee, cookies, milky chocolate, leather and nuts. Medium-bodied with touches of black coffee, burnt caramel, crackers, mild smoke and cocoa. Long roasty finish of dark chocolate, coffee, burnt caramel, cookies and leather. An incredible tasty and balanced session porter!

Sep 10, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle that jcos brought back from Cleveland, 9/10/09
Aroma: Roasted malts dominate the nose, bit of chocolate, coffee, mild hops
Appearance: Dark brown color, bit of red, quickly dissipating beige head
Flavor: Nice hoppy porter flavor,balanced and flavorful, long, bitter finish
Palate: Medium-full bodied beer with a long finish, smooth
Overall Impression:
My first Great Lakes beer (but not my last...Thanks, Justin!) This is a tasty beer for sure. I like the addition of a bit more hops then are standard for this style to the traditional porter flavors that you find in this beer. Nice amount of body, nice taste, nice from start to finish, a nice beer, that I think is rated very accurately.
