Jun 3, 2004 Updated: Oct 11, 2004Black in color with a small tan head. Aromas of coffee and chocolate. Nice sweet and bitter balance. Decent porter. Update: I also had the Aged in Oak Barrel Version at the Kennett Square Festival. This version was nicer than the plain version.

May 3, 2004 Media, PA... Poured a dark reddish brown color with a small tan head, but really no lacing. Aroma of chocolate, and roasted malt and coffee. Roasted coffee taste also included some chocolate cream and a hint of smoke.

Mar 29, 2004 A complex, delicious porter that has very slight rauchbier characteristics. The color is rich dark blackish-amber. It imparts tastes of chocolate, slight black licorice, coffee, and that very slight roasty/smoky flavor. Worth seeking out, although Iron Hill doesn't bottle yet, to my knowledge. A great porter.

Mar 24, 2004 It was nice but has not anything to get excited about. Would I drink another, sure. Would I go out of my way for one, no.

Mar 15, 2004 A very nice porter. Dark with a wee bit of light showing through. Very roasty. Not as bitter as most porters, and missing a certain deep wine quality. Very easy to enjoy, however. A good session porter. Not holing the chocolate/coffee notes as strongly as other porters.
