Oct 17, 2009 Out of a bottle at Collins Pub. Pours a near black with very thin head. Aroma is thin, toasted malt, coffee, some vanilla. Taste is alcohol, red fruits, coffee. Fairly boring.

Jun 14, 2009 22oz bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a deep coffee brown with a 2 finger thick tan head, very little lacing. Nose of canned coffee with some bitter sweet cocoa. Flavor was much like the nose, bitter sweet with coffee grounds.

May 28, 2009 Bomber. Poured deeper reddish-brown with just a light dusting of beige head. The aroma picked up sweeter, roasty black patent malts and lesser chocolate with a looming sour metallic character beneath. The flavor was mostly dry-roasted black patent with mild coffee bitterness surrounding.. the sourness was there again, and while not overwhelming, it didn’t help a bit.. finished with generic roasty black malts and metal. Medium-ish bodied and dry on the palate with off notes from was seems to be an infection.. the baddies didn’t completely wreck it, but it just wasn’t a very good porter.

May 6, 2009 22 oz. bottle via trade with scrizzz - Pours a dark brown color with a 3/4 finger thick tan head. Aroma is sweet cola, light chocolate, and light herbal hops. Very light lacing. Flavor is toasted caramel malt and light chocolate. Body is a tad thin and palate is dry. A decent beer, but seems lacking in all components to be a good Porter. Thanks Clint.

Apr 25, 2009 Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours a dark black, but very little of the dark tan head. Aroma is the highlight of the beer. Okay flavor of vanilla, but not much else going on. Just a plain porter that stays on the tongue longer than it should.
