Dec 13, 2007 Updated: May 24, 2008This beer is pretty good. Nice aroma and flavor, good use of goldings. Carbonation is near perfect for this one. Chocolate malt is very obvious (good) and an aroma to match. I recommend drinking this from a Krug....Im drinking one right now....Great beer for the price, $8.79. Also, the head retention is not bad despite what I have read here.....Don’t wash your beer glass with soap gentleman!

Dec 12, 2007 Rating is a little misleading. If you are looking for a porter this isn’t it. Looking for a decent nut brown? Transparent brown, minimal head. Aroma very nutty, hints of chocolate and roast. Flavor much the same. Medium body, smooth/creamy mouthfeel. Like I stated earlier decent nut brown, but realy not a porter IMO.

Dec 10, 2007 Bottle: Very deep brown in color with ruby in the light, and a creamy/lacing tan head. Has lots of roasted chocolate chip cookies in the aroma, with some bakers chocolate and the slightest hop note peaks through. Has a nice fluffy body. Mildly roasted flavor with a nice chocolate cookie character and a mild nutty hint later on. There are also very subtle hop nuances in the middle when it warms up. Has a smooth finish, and it’s smooth all though out. This is a tasty, easy going Porter.

Dec 6, 2007 Deep dark ruby red body with with a compact light tan head. Milky coffee nose that has a touch of hops as well. Taste is very smooth, not very full in body, chocolate notes, some hints of liquorice and roastiness. A very good drop just needs a bit more punch.

Nov 28, 2007 I would like to give some props to my brother Scott for joining ratebeer and contibuting his input to this great site. Good Luck Scott!! Check him out at naplesbeerfan. Now for this beer. Part of a six pack sampler of porter from Binny’s of Naperville. Very dark brown, bordering on black. Fullest, creamy white head I have ever seen on a porter. Complex nose, lots of deep roasted malt, burnt chocolate, mocha, raisins, with a slight hint of hops. You really have to appreciate the solid Kent Golding hops in this, perfect for this beer. A medium bodied beer with a lot of character. Well balanced with a clean, somewhat hoppy finish.

Nov 23, 2007 Bottle at Chris´s, october 07. Clear, dark, murky color with a small, quickly disappearing white head. Caramel, chocolate aroma with some bittersweet notes. Tart, toasty malts flavor with some chocolate notes. Slightly sour aftertaste. Light to medium mouthfeel, rich with a lingering chocolate aftertaste. Nice, warming porter but a bit dull.

Nov 13, 2007 Bottle. Coal black with thin brown head. Aroma of chocolate and soy. Coffee flavour to start with, then turns into something more flowery, only to finish with a dry creamy chocolate. A bit unbalanced and weird, but till interesting, refreshing and not too heavy.
