Oct 31, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark red color with a thin tan head. Aroma of honey and some roasted malt. Flavor was malty, but doesn’t pick up any of the notes in the aroma, and the body is very thin. Bad beer.

Oct 5, 2008 From bottle. Deep ruby in colour with a thin lace. Sweet, honey aroma. Slight hin tof oak. Flavour was metallic, chemically. Cheap attempt at a porter. Smooths as it warms and not as harsh as initial taste. Not that good

Sep 17, 2008 Not bad. I thought it was a pretty good dark beer. I definitely tasted some malt and liked the rich color. I did find it lacking tat greatness that some of the other micro brews have though.

Sep 6, 2008 Dark brown (much darker than the picture displayed here), thin brief head. Nice chocolate and coffee aroma, but the palate doesn’t really translate-- thin, with an uncomplimentary astringently bitter finish. Unbalanced and skimpy.

Jul 12, 2008 Poured a dark murky brown with a light tan head. Aroma was of toffee chocolate and some caramel. Flavor was nice and roasted but a bit bland and watery.

Jun 8, 2008 Bottled as Porter 68. Poured dark brown, with a rocky tan head. Nose was roasty and malty. Flavor was bittersweet chocolate, roated malt. The finish was too bitter--not a hoppy bitter, but more of an astringent finish. That being said, it was a refreshing beer. Perhaps not a good example of a porter, but not the drain pour inferred by others.

May 14, 2008 Quite enjoyed this one. Clear mahogany against the light, fine beige suds. Nose pitched between Belgium (sweet sugary stout) and the Baltic- slightly sourish dried fruit, adjuncty cooked sugar sweetness, toffee, chocolate, yeast extract. Dusty chocolate, pruney sweetness, roasted malt and lingering smoke on the palate. Just a nibble of astringency that isn’t quite right, but quite a tasty beer with some authentic character. Underrated.
