Commercial Description:
Due to explosive sales of this year’s Oktoberfest, we’ll be releasing Legend Chocolate Porter a little earlier than normal. We tweaked the recipe this year by adding some additional dark malts to the mash. A touch of natural cocoa extract is added to the finished beer for a rich, robust Porter with plenty of roasted, coffee, and of course, chocolate flavors. Always a favorite during the holiday season.

Black with a foamy tan head. Tart fruit and berry aroma. Taste is strangely tart as well but also has a dark chocolate bitterness. Slightly odd.

Location: On Tap at Legend, 12/26/09

Aroma: Aroma of coffee, and dark chocolate
Appearance: Dark brown/black color, tan head
Flavor: Roasted coffee up-front, semi-sweet chocolate - bitter finish
Palate: Nice mouthfeel with a good, long finish
Overall Impression: I really liked this beer. It is a chocolate porter for sure, but not in the traditional (sweet chocolate) sense. More of a bittersweet/semi-sweet/dark chocolate bitter flavor instead, but it works really well in my opinion. The ratings seem a bit low here, this beer was a rousing success at my table. A very nice brew.

22 oz. bottle from Grape & Gourmet. Dark brown, almost black, pour with a foamy tan head. Strong milk chocolate aroma with some roasted malt underneath. Rich smoky flavor upfront with cocoa and coffee at the end. While I started off with the first few sips thinking this was fantastic I am now noticing the chocolate flavor is good but possibly overdone as it is more upfront. Still, a solid porter.

Draught at brewpub. Dark non-transparent black with beige/tan head. Aroma like dark unsweetened chocolate and lighter wood. Flavor is smooth and dark with no sweetness with big bite of hops that come through near end. Great unsweetened porter with great balance but very odd.

Bottle shared with the guys at the Barrios’ 500th Swallow Tasting. Most likely infected. Sour coffee, and cocoa. Gonna have to give this another try. Definetly doesn’t travel well.

Pours a fizzy, tan head with a dark brown body. Smells of chocolate, roasted malts, and alcohol. Flavor is i cannot even write it. Don’t want to taste it anymore. Infected. Sour. Chocolate and coffee, but I can’t drink this sour swill.

Bottle shared by cdog69 on 2/1/08: Pours an opaque with a small creamy dark tan head. Aroma of rich milk chocolate and butterscotch with some cocoa powder and paper. Starts oily and semi-sweet with some milk chocolate and earthy cocoa powder with plenty of diacetyl. Drier finish has some roasted notes. If they could clean up the diacetyl this would be quite nice.

22oz bottle-pours a rich cascading to rocky brown head and black color. Aroma is earthy, chocolate-dark malt. Taste is earthy hops first then chocolate/molasses/anise-dark malt/oat, ashy, and something medicinal-like.
