Jan 23, 2009 Pours dark brown with tan head.
Aroma is malty, light tones of chocolate / cocoa, light roasted nose and some coffee.
Taste of light roasted malts with a more prominent chocolate mouthfeel. I could not help but detect what was either light vanilla or lactose that was very reminiscent of their Milk Stout.
Overall finish has some chocolate bitterness, became a lot stronger at room temperature.
Good beer!

Jan 23, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Pours a very deep ruby-brown with a spare diminishing off-white head. Aroma’s roasty along with coffee and chocolate, some nice green hops and fruit too -- it smells great! Flavour of roasted malt with notes of coffee and chocolate -- flavour’s more simple then the aroma, still good though. Average coffee bitter finish. Average bodied. A pretty good Porter indeed.

Jan 21, 2009 Bottle poured to glass. Pours a rich brown with deep copper highlights and average off white head. 2 points to appearance because of poor head retention and lacing. Deep roasted notes in aroma and hints of plums. Sweet malty molasses taste and fruity esters followed by a mild hops bitter to attempt to balance. Leans toward the malty side of things. Full bodied brew.

Jan 19, 2009 12 oz bottle sitting in the cellar for some time now, likely from the Binnys Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL). Pours a dark brown, dark but clear, with very light brown medium head that laces a bit. Aromas are roasted maltiness, a touch of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of sweetness. Initial is light on the palate, but as you work your way into the brew, becomes stronger. Darker malt and roasted qualities work from light to medium in intensity, moving into a bitter chocolate and coffee body. Finish leaves a nice remembrance in the aftertaste. Light bodied, sessionable.
