Poured a dark brown / red color with a medium sized, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, bakers chocolate, light smoke, and a bit of caramel malt. Taste was sweet chocolate, more caramel, fudge, roasted malts, and some nuts, but really reminded me of a tootsie roll.

a color as dark as night with a white cumulus head. roasted coffee beans dominates this beer along with bittersweet chocolate and smoke. i felt the coffee aroma and flavor was alittle too heavy and therefore imbalanced the beer, otherwise good.

This was a pretty good porter for being a regional brewery. I am a big fan of the Edmund Fitzgerald, this porter was actually really good, will have it again however, not at the local Steakhouse which charges the price of a six pack for 1!

Pours a dark brown with a foamy chocolately head. Smells of coffee with a hint of hops. Taste is somewhat lacking due to bittersweet taste and minimal hops.

Bottle courtesy of Grbdg (thanks!). Pours your standard black with sizeable tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and nuts...very enticing, though for some reason it didn’t stick around all that long; it mellowed out quite a bit. Roasty flavor including chocolate and coffee. Finishes with a bitter coffee flavor. The mouthfeel is rather watery though, which was disappointing. Still, a pretty good porter and I wish it were more available to me.

Bottle sampled. Pours dark with a tan head. Aroma of roasted chocolate malts, hops, nuts, and sweetness. The flavor is sweet chocolate with some roast and nuts, and finishes with a hoppy bitterness.

Great beer. Should be called great beer brewing company. But I doubt that will happen. I know I live close to this brewery just don;t know where it is. Would love to visit. So far all the brews I’ve tried have been satisfactory.

Pours very dark with a light tan head that does not disapate quickly. Smells of a slight hint of chocolate but cannot smell the coffee. This is really quite smooth and not half bad for a porter
