Oct 29, 2008 Bottle, nice dark brown, almost black, with big frothy tan head. Great nose, with the Kona coffee coming thru. Smooth taste, minimal hops. good finish, a bit on the dry side. Overall a good Porter, especially when it is on sale.

Oct 27, 2008 Bottle at the Hilton Waikaloha, poured very dark, aroma burst out like a fresh brewed cup of coffee, dark cream-coffee colored head. Flavor was full and rich, 100% Kona helps the coffee flavors, malts added a nice bit a sweetness too. Thoroughly enjoyed...I hope the airport security enjoyed the 2 bottles I had to leave behind!!!

Oct 20, 2008 Pours a dark brown to black with a small soapy tan head. Aroma is very much like a brewing pot of coffee, the essence of freshly brewed coffee is really noticable in this one, also there’s a hint of chocolate perhaps bitter cocoa powder in the nose. Flavor is much like the aroma and predominantly roasty coffee beans and a bittersweet chocolate taste. A little creamy and smooth going down with a little bit of similarity to that of a frappuccino. This brew has great coffee characteristics and as far as coffee goes it’s my 2nd favorite behind hitachino nest espresso stout. Add ice, cream and sugar and let’s get to work! Nice brew.

Oct 19, 2008 12oz bottle. Deep black color with a minimal head. Smooth and creamy Porter, with mild coffee notes. Very delicate and well balanced. Somewhat dry finish, very little hop character. Quite an enjoyable, middle-of-the-road Porter.
