| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Poured dark dark brown/ruby with a pretty thick 2 finger head. Nice aroma of coffee and malts. Taste was flat, a little vinegar, coffee, and not a very pleasing palate. mansquito (843), Boston/Philadelphia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 16, 2009 Draft: Quickly descending tan head over a black body. Really mild aroma... hard to tell its even there when the beer is cold. However, the taste makes up for it, with a milky, but still bitter chocolate taste. Really smooth coffee taste, not like the hardcore espresso of many other porters and stouts. Moderate amount of carbonation, but that doesn’t really hurt the beer it just adds an unexpected mouthfeel. Really light, almost watery, but not really. obguthr (1067), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 1/5 | 16/20 | Dec 15, 2009 Draft: Charred barley nose. Clear, dark brown, thick tan head, good lacing. Chocolate flavor starts sweet and takes on a more bitter coffee character in the end. A bit watery, but a tasty porter, in its own right. fiulijn (7420), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Draught at Pony Bar, New York Black color. Light coffee aroma. Dry mouthfeel, weak body, average coffee flavor and light dark chocolate. Ordinary bitterness. Dry Stout, not impressive. darrennelson12 (35), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 12, 2009 In bottle; good beer. Didn’t enjoy the first sip as it was different than I was expecting but after that, really enjoyed it. Full coffee taste for sure, if you don’t enjoy coffee, probably won’t like this one bferullo (1), Maryland, USA does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 9, 2009 I didn’t like the other beers by Kona all that much. This beer I thought had a great flavor profile with good coffee notes. It was very smooth and lightly carbonated. tilldeath (87), Arvada, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 9, 2009 Dark pour with a light tan head,expected something a little darker from this one. Aroma of roasty, nutty, and coffee. Flavor suprisingly smooth for a coffee beer,light hop bitterness, but almost no dark chocolate coffee bitter finish. Good beer, easy drinking and overall sessionable. Just a little hard to get in Colorado.
