Jul 9, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep dark brown with a long lasting tan head that is fed by a stream of carbonation bubbles. Very nice aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is less distinctive than the aroma with some roasted malt and a bit of chocolate follwed by some hops bitterness. Somewhat bitter and a bit dry at the finish. An ok porter.

Jun 21, 2007 12oz bottle at cellar temp from table and vine. After trying the milk stout I have to try them all now. This one was black with a hint of red. The aroma is sweet chocolate and coffee. The espresso and hop flavors balance perfectly. This isn’t as great as the Duck Rabbit Baltic, but it does have the same fruity raspberry and anise flavor that comes from the combination of sweet and bitter elements. Left hand is kickass. It might be time for a trip to colorado for some hiking and brewery tours.

Jun 19, 2007 Pours an extremely dark brown. Tannish head that actually sticks around for a while, even as it falls. Nose is like mildly scented dark chocolate bits that my mother used to cook with. Flavor is surprising. Smooth and even with a more robust chocolate and roasted bean flavor than I had expected. There is almost a sweet fruit edge to it. I want to say there are very slight cherry hints, but that still might be over-exaggerating. Feel is very smooth. Goes right down. On the end of the liquid feel it seems to get a slight bit watery. I still say it is good though.Very drinkable. A pretty robust porter and one that definitely has enough character to justify trying.
