Oct 15, 2009 Thanks Hayduke! Pour is very porter like with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted nut with smoky peat. That smoky peat translates to the flavor along with wet grass and anise. The peat recedes at the finish and smoke builds as does carbonation.

Oct 10, 2009 Three for three so far from Mad river! Very drinkable and smooth...just a tad more carbonation than I like.

Sep 6, 2009 Aroma is a bit weak, with only a faint hint of roasted malt and smoke. Flavor is more pronounced, with a sweet roasted beginning and a smooth smoky finish. Interesting combination...decent porter.
