Medium amber colored, with aromas of roasted malts and slightly smokey. Chocolate/coffee flavor but there is a lingering burnt coffee after taste. A very good porter.

Just as the commercial description states, it has a subtle, smoky flavor. I prefer it to an extremely smoky tasting porter and it also has a very nice dark color. Slightly sweet flavor and aroma - recommended for the style - not bad.

Nice reddish/brown color,small tan head that faded slowly leaving a slight lace behind,The aroma was mildly roasty with a mild coffee vanilla thing going on.The flavor was actaully not that bad.It’s not exactly great but it was fairly pleasant,easy drinking for sure.malty flavor with a nice faint coffee tone some caramel and a bit of hops in the end.Theres also a slight smokey hint in there as well but it’s light and fleeting at best.Over all not bad and worth trying again IMO.

Pours deep red with a two-finger head. Very strong aroma--toffee, maple, smoke, and roasted malts. Dry and smoky flavor, with a surprisingly strong hop finish.

another beer with a weird style. I didn’t think it worked that well, the whiskey flavors didn’t blend in well with the porter, which was too waterey ti begin with. I drank this quickly so i could move on

Pours with a nice lasting head. Dark brown body. Aroma is chocolate, molassis, scotchy. Biting roasted taste, fades to a scotchy, alcoholic, and hoppy finish. Real good dose of bittering hops, I like it. Touches of vanilla. Creamy/buttery mouthfeel. Well done beer.

Bottle. A near-opaque black pour with ruby highlights and a two-finger thick light-brown head. Dark, toasty malts in the aroma with lots of caramel and hints of dark chocolate, coffee and vanilla beans. Solidly medium-bodied and smooth. Caramel and toffee are present initially and all the way through. This transitions to a slightly roasty and toasty, bitter finish. A solid porter.

Stage Door Cabaret and Coffeehouse, Mt. Shasta, Ca - 12 oz bottle. Dark, ruby red pour fading to black. Thick rich mocha colored head with thick lacing. Delicious aroma of chocolate and coffee. Flavor reminds me of a fresh chocolate fudge cake with some bittersweet chocolate on the back end. Very thick and rich creamy mouthfeel. Excellent porter.
