Nov 15, 2006 A plaing malty aroma, but okay. A very dark red-black color. This is a nice beer. bit of hops and some bite, makes it very stout like. Good.

Sep 10, 2006 Dark brown ale with a thick moka head. Aroma is of cold coffee and light black olives (infection?). In mouth, a nice porter with nice burned toasts, notes of bitter chocolate, lingering burned bitterness in mouth. Medium bodied. Bottle bought at BevMo in Sacramento, CA, August 2005. One year old. Enjoyed with Jerked Ribs from Island Flava, Ottawa.

Aug 23, 2006 Black with a medium head. Roasted malt, chocolate and slightly salty licorice aroma. This one is all roasted malts, not much hop presence. Very smooth finish, too thin though. For only 5.6%, it packs in a good amount of taste. Worth trying!

Aug 12, 2006 Deep crimson in appearance with a fluffy, off-white head. Ashtray and liquor in the nose. Lots of licorice, burnt malt and unpleasant lemony hops. Barely serviceable.

Aug 9, 2006 Nice brew, especially for those where its a hot day so you don’t want the heavyness of a stout or porter, yet you really like the dark malt taste! Surprisingly white head for a black beer. Dark as sin in color. Totally black and even when I held it up to a lightbulb I couldn’t see ANY light through it. Very clean pallate. Doesn’t stay long after drinking. Would definately consider buying again!

Aug 5, 2006 Bottled. The body was black with a light brown colored head. The aroma was chocolate with lots of coffee. There was also anise and some pancake syrup. The taste was lots of dark chocolate with some fair amounts of espresso. There was also a hint of soybeans. The body was medium with a hint of soybeans. A nice beer.

Jul 19, 2006 22oz bottle from Santa! - Pours black with an very large rocky tan head that stays pretty well and laces the sides of the glass. Aromas of sweet chocolate, roasted malts, and some orange. Flavor is a good combination of the sweet chocolate flavor blended with the background of roasted malts and the orange/citrus hops at the finish. Fairly hoppy for a porter and definitely unique. Palate is smooth and creamy but there is plenty of carbonation in this as well. Enjoyable.

Jun 4, 2006 Aroma is a sweet and roasty combo of lightly roasted barley and citrus hops with a note of melted butter. Immaculate brown color with a thick and frothy head thats leaves a trail of mess down the glass. Slightly relaxed is the flavor with only mild undertones of roasted malt and a bittering hop bite unlike any dark ale i can remember of at the moment. Aftertaste is roasty and its almost like i just drank or ate something that was burnt over a bbq grill. Nice offering.
