Courtesy dragonstout. Pours a nearly black body topped by a small, tan colored foam that quickly recedes to a thin film. The aroma is really nice showing hints of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, cream, and some earthy hop bitterness. The flavor follows with the dark chocolate and toasted caramel malts balanced nicely by some roasted coffee, earthy hops, and vanilla cream. Medium to full bodied with balanced carbonation that leads to a long, roasted chocolate finish. This is a really nice porter.

Dec 20, 2009 This is what a porter should be. Perfect balance of chocolate, roasted, burnt, and sweet malt. Very easy to drink. Not too sweet, and still a nice rich body. There isn’t much more to say other than this is what a porter should be.

Dec 20, 2009 A: Deep dark brown with maroon hints bleeding thru. Big khaki head that dies down nicely. There is some lacing left behind as I pounded this bad boy.
S: Aromas of black coffee, bitter chocolate, buttery toffee, and raisins.
T: Very bold and complex porter. Nice rich roasted dark malts. Chocolate and coffee dominate. There is a buttery vanilla taste in the background which makes this one especially nice.
M: Full bodied with a creamy feel.

Dec 19, 2009 Edmund is a nice porter that feels a bit thin on the palate. This might be a little too hoppy for me; I would have liked some more malt for balance, but this is very nice. Honestly not really detecting the coffee taste--as advertised--but I usually don’t.

Dec 17, 2009 See thru chestnut with a rocky tan slowly fading tan head. Patchy lacing. Aroma of caramel, coffee, roasted malt, dark fruit and a touch of sourness. Taste of caramel, dark and roasted malts, coffee with a peppy finish. Creamy body with a fuller mouth feel than most porters. Decent enough.

Dec 9, 2009 Bottle. Dark, fairly viscous, with a nice tan head. Aromas of chocolate, plums, coffee, and malt. Flavor is packed with rich chocolate malt, with a little roasty coffee note in the background, maybe a little smokiness. Palate is just barely on the thin side of where I’d like it. Overall, a unique and very nice porter, and well-priced in a sixer.

Dec 2, 2009 Refrigerated bottle poured into a tumbler. Pours a dark brown with beige head. Nice complexity. The taste is roasted malts, coffee with a hint of chocolate. Best porter I have had.

Dec 1, 2009 Pours black with small head. Smells of malts, coffee and chocolate. Taste follows the nose with coffee, chocolate and a small hop bitter. Finishes with a long semi dry bitterness that lingers. Good sipper.
