wonderful- pours with the color and head of a cream soda - nice toasted marshmallow aroma, chewy roasty nutiness with a little hop presence in the background, a really top notch beer all around, no weaknesses

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.

Nov 30, 2009 Overall, I expected a lot more from this. But it was basically a non-descript beer. Mild aroma ( typical porter, roasted malt and coffee). Mild flavor’s, no bitterness. Mild mouthfeel. This was just all around average to me, but would make a great session beer.

Nov 17, 2009 From trip to Cleveland in September.
Nice sweet, chocolaty aroma. Darker mahogany color. Nice mildly hoppy taste with decent malt. A nice tasting porter. I enjoy this beer, and wasn’t a big porter fan going in.

Nov 16, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle on many occasions. The beer pours a deep brown to just slightly lower in SRMs than totally black with a tan head. Carbonation is med-low. The nose is initially of coffee and roasted malts, with some malt character, and just a slight touch of hops. The palate is roasty and coffee-like up front, and then transfers into a clean American-style porter on the back-end. Slight mid-crystal malts are detectable in the mid-palate to finish. The latter is clean and semi-dry. Overall, a classic robust porter.

Nov 15, 2009 An extra point just for the name! Bottle at 1016 at the Genesee Grand in Syracuse, NY. Roasted caramel malt and toffee aroma, Dark brown and ruby appearance. Chocolate caramel taste followed by a slightly bitter hoppiness. Very good beer.
