Jan 31, 2009 On tap at the Brass Tap (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark brown to black color with a one finger foamy tan head that settles slowly and heavily laces the glass. Aroma is roasted and malty with notes of chocolate, coffee, some ripe dark fruit and maybe toffee as well. Flavor is also roasted and malty with notes of dark chocolate, coffee bean, vanilla, and hints of dark fruit and molasses. Generally medium body with a roasted and malty finish.

Jan 30, 2009 Poured a ruby brown with a tan head. Aroma is not very rich, actually barely there, but some coffee notes are there. Utterly forgettable flavor, though not actually bad. Tastes of over-extracted coffee with a poor thin sour finish. Coffee idea starts nice, finishes badly.

Jan 29, 2009 At the Galway Hooker in Huntersville. Bold coffee flavor right off the bat, but very little follow through and no finish. Also, a bit too fizzy. Interesting, might have it again but not regularly.

Jan 24, 2009 This is really just a cup of coffee with carbonation and alcohol. The hops are well balanced and blend perfectly with the bitterness and flavor of the coffee. Good flavor overall. I feel bad looking at it in the morning and considering a glass. If not for work, I would think about it. I certainly enjoyed it more than a cup of coffee.

Jan 23, 2009 Ok so if a porter has coffee in it I will like it. Aroma of full flavored coffee. Taste is the same. Moderate carbonation but I got a slight watery feel. Maybe needs to be a little thicker.

Jan 23, 2009 On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz. Poured into a pint glass. Dark brown body with a nice dense cap of cocoa colored foam. Nice lacing and retention. Aroma is cocoa powder with a big dose of somewhat tart coffee. Flavor is caramelized sugar, roasted grains, solid roasty bitterness, mildly tart coffee, and a touch of dark chocolate. Pretty typical. Mouthfeel is a little thin. More body and a deeper malt profile would make this a great beer, but as it is, it remains just ’good.’

Jan 19, 2009 A really creamy and smooth porter with an almost lactic quality to it. The primary flavor is coffee, with slight chocolate and roast. The finish is neither sweet nor bitter, almost like an iced coffee. Incredibly drinkable and unique ale.

Jan 16, 2009 Bottle. A dry porter with flabby, tart coffee added. Has some redeeming sweetness in the finish but otherwise this one is unpleasantly sour-tasting.
