Dec 10, 2007 12oz bottle from my Secret Santa. Pours opaque brown, nearing pitch black with a creamy, lasting khaki head. Pleasant porter aroma: roasted malt, wet wood, light coffee, semisweet chocolate and a curious hint of green apples. medium bodied on the tongue, but quite creamy with nice fizzy carbonation. The roasted malt and hops are balanced nicely. Nice, but not overpowering coffee and dark chocolate notes interweave with grassy and earthy hops. Quite a nice porter.

Dec 1, 2007 Very large 2+ inch high tan head of fine creamy bubbles. Light carbonation. Rich milk chocolate aroma with lots of roasted grains, a hint of coffee and a bit of licorice. Color is a very dark brown boardering on black. Dark roasted grain, more coffee and carbon. Bitter dark chocolate. Medium bodied, dry and slightly bitter palate. Long roasty flavor and finish. Lingering bitterness and some coffee. A very good porter.
