Jun 8, 2004 Updated: Aug 20, 2004Pours black with a dark brown to reddish hue around the edges. Medium brown frothy head. Aroma is steeped in coffee and dark chocolate. Faint hops and a hint of licorice make their way into the mix as well. Taste is much the same as the aroma. Very rich taste of coffee and dark chcolate with some definite roasted notes and a hint of licorice. Creamy mouthfeel with a slightly oily edge. Some carbonation sharpness as well. Finish is slightly bittered and leans more towards the coffee side of things. Damn good beer!

Jun 5, 2004 Updated: Dec 10, 2008[draft - 10th Annual PA Microbrewers Fest, Pennsylvania Brewing Co. - Pittsburgh, PA] Pours a dark black with a thick tan head. Strong aroma of chocolate and coffee with a hint of vanilla and cherry. Initial coffee taste that mixes well with the creamy flavor of the head and the sweet in the body to give a bitter, chocolaty backbone and a nice warm, roasted finish. Extremely creamy mouthfeel, especially when combined with the head. Very delicious.

Jun 1, 2004 Black with dark brown lasting head, as well as great sheets of brussels lace. chocolate & coffee aromas, hints of vanilla. Light bodied but bold in taste, lactic, milky and very creamy. Finish boasted some strong coffee bean dryness. A little less complex and bold as Southamptons similar but slightly superior "imperial" porter.

May 25, 2004 Very dark brown (almost balck), opaque, with a medium-sized beige head. The aroma was full of espresso, milk chocolate, roasted nuts, and a slight smokiness. The flavor was full and round with coffee, roasted nuts, caramel, slight floral hops bitterness, and a huge smokey aftertaste. The feel was very crisp, a tad bit thin, with a semi-dry finish. Thanks to WillBlake for this excellent brew.
