An odor of old coffe or toasted malt gone slightly south. A dark brown pour with a tan head without much lacing. A coffee flavor with an off bitter that might be discribed as sour and the bitter might be described as a twang. Palate is a tad fizzy and thin. Not much to write home about but not terrible.

Pours midnight brown w/ a full, semi creamy froth that receds to a full canopy w/ contiguous lacing. Aromas of sweet cream and roasted malt. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. Flavors of roasted malts w/ a slight fruit character. The finish is bittered w/ a slight souring. Overall: a decent brew.

An almost black brew that has a nice medium tan head. It feels delightfully creamy in the mouth. Aroma is malt and roasted nuts. There is quite a lot of carbonation that is evident in the mouth. While flavor is not robust here, this is a great porter that is full of subtlety.

12 oz bottle via Roth’s. Chilled 30 minutes in freezer. Pours a almost black with a large tan head. Nose is roasted grains, vanilla, chocolate. Taste is the same with some oats and perhaps some lactose. Some hops peek through in the finish...Silky mouthfeel. high carbonation. Light/medium body. Easy to drink. A good solid porter/stout..

Very dark reddish-brown with a medium brown head. Tangy, hoppy aroma. Full mouthfeel, balanced, lightly roasty flavor. Very drinkable.

Pours a somewhat opaque black glass with a slowly dissolving copper head. A pleasant chocolatey aroma, with a complex, nutty flavor. Concur with the ’smooth’ description, though with relatively strong carbonation; a bit too much carbonation in my opinion, but still a quality porter

Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a fizzy tan head. The aroma was of milk chocolate. The flavor found sweet chocolate and coffee. Light to medium body and a coffee aftertaste.
