May 10, 2008 draft @ brewery. Pours nearly opaque, small chocolate head. The aroma is very roasty with definite notes of dark vinuous fruits. Crisp and full of flavor. Smoke, chocolate, the dark vinuous fruits are present in the flavor (anis, plum) Finishes with medium bitterness. Really rich and complex. Sweet and full flavored. Very Nice.

May 2, 2008 Pours medium, dark brown with a 2 inch thick, fomay, frothy head. Smells like chocolate and medium/dark malts. Flavor is like sweet milk chocolate. Pretty smooth. A delicious desert beer, that doesn’t overpower and won’t disappoint. An exemplary incarnation of the porter style. Stout, full, and within bounds to keep it enjoyable to the last drop. The beer tastes stronger as it draws down, perhaps introducing a bit of alcohol flavor, even though it’s on 5.8%. Full body and finish, perhaps a little on the heavy side, so plan your food accordingly. Really good lacing.

Apr 26, 2008 Nice calm aroma of chocolate that is not overwhelming. Flavor is a nice chocolate roasted malt. Finishes a little bitter, but smooth and ready for the next sip of chocolate goodness.

Apr 23, 2008 Weak aroma of roasted malt. Dark brown, no head. Weak flavor of chocolate and dates. Decent cocoa finish. Off balance, weak, and uninspiring.

Apr 18, 2008 (Bottle) Brownish black colour with ruby notes through light, frothy pale brown head. Roasted, malty nose with coffee, cocoa powder, liquorice and toffee. Roasted, malty taste with sweet liquorice, coffee, chocolate, soy sauce and toasted grain. Medium bitterness in the finish. Rather concentrated falvours. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel, fairly dry. Very good porter, possibly not brilliant, but very nice.
