May 7, 2009 Backlog: On draught during the Winterfest 2009 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Pours a dark copper/brown colored brew with a thin off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of roasted dark malt, wood, a touch of vanilla and sweet pear. Taste is medium bodied, flavors of roasted dark malt, chocolate, sweet pear and a touch of vanilla. Finish is semi-sweet with a lingering pear/chocolate aftertaste with no bitterness. Quite interesting.

Feb 9, 2009 Pretty good for the style, what can you do with a porter? It should probably be a fruit beer, because the pear is prominent. Pear in the aroma and flavor. Sweet with some sugar, but not like canned pears, which I expected. Light brown color.

Jan 25, 2009 TAP: at Great Waters (1.24.2009). Deep mahogany pour, wood & pear on the nose, chocolate/barleywine flavor. For a porter, this had a lot of wine character.

Jan 5, 2009 An incredibly dark beer with a rich chocolate aroma blended with one of the best pear aromas I’ve ever encountered. A similar flavor with a dry oatmeal character to it. The pear was superbly done in this one.
