Jul 29, 2009 Pretty nice, smooth, not overly sugared. slight bad aftertaste. could have a little more body. i thought the hops were a bit over powering the roasted character. good aroma, chocolately.

Jul 20, 2009 12oz bottle from a random grocery store in Asheville. dark brown pour with an amber hue and a small light tan head. nice soft aroma of toffee and nuts. sweet taste up front gives way quickly to an even coffee and chocolate bitterness. the palate is as thin as I’ve come across in a porter. not much else going on. kept thinking this would be a good one to chug or shotgun. if you were wanting to chug or shotgun a porter. for some unknown reason. ok.

Jul 19, 2009 Shakeyfest 09. More of a stout than a porter really. Very solid. Some nice roasted barley. Not much for oats. Ok, I guess there are some oats.

Jul 9, 2009 About a 1 inch thick head of fairly small and dense bubbles. Moderate carbonation. Rich milk chocolate aroma with some sweet malts, and a feint hop presence. Color is a very dark brown. Rich and creamy mouthfeel. Silky smooth. Definate oatmeal characteristics, along with some dark chocolate, roasted grains, maybe a bit of raisin and some mild coffee. Tasty. Minimal alcohol presence but still a slight tingle. Finishes roasty and a bit on the dry side. A decent porter.

Jun 26, 2009 This beer violates some expectations! But its still a nice beer. Poured a translucent purple-brown, with a modest head and spotty lacing. Aroma was initially hoppy, much to my surprise, with a floral grassy character but it quickly gave way to a richer chocolate malt. The flavor was sweeter with chocolate malt. Balanced finish, spritzy carbonation. Easy finish has a medium body.

Jun 19, 2009 Bottle courtesy of BeerHawk – thanks Steve! Pours deep black with tints of mahogany on the edges and a 2 finger dense tan head that leaves great lacing. The nose is dark chocolate and coffee. The taste is roasted malt, baker’s chocolate and dark roast coffee with some hops in the finish. Medium creamy body. Good beer – thanks again Steve!
