Oct 3, 2005 GABF 2005:
Very black beer with good head and lacing. Aroma was mostly roasted with some coffee hints. Taste was a combination of roasted with a little malt but, the after-taste was stale coffee.

Jun 12, 2005 [At GABF 2004] A pitch black beer with a lasting beutiful brown head. The aroma is very lighlty roasted - I’m a bit disappointed in the lightness of the aroma. The flavor is sweet with hints of coffee, and a nice roasted end. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

Feb 21, 2005 Roasted malt aroma. Very familiar as in many porters have a very similar aroma. Nice. Opaque body. Light tan head that is diminishing. Nice lace. Good flavor has 40 IBUs but tastes like more. I was eating a caesar salad with pepperoncinis, (yes I added them myself), and tangy-pepper flavor was strengthened by the brew.

Oct 4, 2003 Black as night with a sticky consistency. Coffee, toffee, smoky and slightly bittered. A weird fit in Hawaii, but a decent smoky porter for those who like them.
