May 27, 2003 Nice dark blackish color.tall head that lasted for some time,or it could just be because of the temp. it was a little higher then the normal drinking temp.Nice aroma of roasted malt,slightly sweet with a small coffee tone to it maybe some lite chocolate.The taste was a little less then i thought it might be.Mild maltiness semi-sweet with a hint of chocolate.Nothing special a bit watery but it could definately be better then it is.

May 14, 2003 Pours dark chocolate. Long, large head. Nose is malt sweet. Not alot of malt in the body, finishes slightly dry with a definite hop presence. Good beer to introduce the newcomer to porters, but overall unimpressive.

May 2, 2003 Deep brown with a smaller, small bubbled tan head. Aroma of sweet dark chocolate and mild malt. Mild roasted sweetness with a light acidic finish. Quite thin in feel. Light graininess and iron in the late finish.

Apr 22, 2003 pours a medium brown but settles to a chalky black with mild burgundy hues. head disapears quickly, light body. lively carbonation, sweet tangy malt, light bitterness but no chocolate or roasty flavors. vanilla nose and the vanilla comes back again late in each sip

Apr 9, 2003 Dark brown color with tan head and roasted corn aroma. Cloyingly bitter burnt flavor. Body is thin for a porter. Finishes heavy on black malt with a touch of dark chocolate. This lacks any complexity. Tastes too much like burnt water, if there is such a thing.

Apr 4, 2003 color is very dark, almost opaque. thick beige head leaving behind some very good lacing. aroma is coffee, with a sour cream note to it. flavor is coffee with a decent sweetness..coffee does taste a little stale though. in my opinion, better than the overall rating.

Mar 26, 2003 Black as the night itself, this brew starts off bit sweet and then cascades smoothly into a tinged malty flavor as it goes down. Rather light for a porter that has the wrod "cream" in the title. Decent porter and worth a six-pack trial, but I'd take a SNP or Anchor any day over this.
