Apr 19, 2009 Nearly black, but with ruby highlights, one-finger head that dissipated to a thin film and left nice lacing. Smoky malt aromas with a bit of charcoal. Roasted coffee flavors are predominant, but share the profile with creamy mocha and fresh off the hearth firewood, probably attributable to the peated malt. Nice creamy mouthfeel, a hint of hops bitterness to balance the malts, but the roasted malts win out in the aftertaste. Good stuff.

Mar 30, 2009 Pours deep mahogany into an English pint. Tan micro head with excellent retention leaves sheets as it recedes to coat surface. Dusty cocoa and peat aromas. Thin with upfront sweet caramel turning smoky and peaty in the lasting finish.

Mar 28, 2009 12oz twist off bottle. Very drinkable porter but no real strong flavors to this one. Some roasted malt and a bit of smokiness but somewhat bland for a porter. Huge amounts of sediment in the bottle I had also.

Mar 21, 2009 12 oz bottle. I went with a six-pack as I love a good porter. The first bottle I opened was much as described earlier, smokey and a roasted aroma and flavor, no head at all... but there was a lot of yeast particle in this bottle floating around the glass. I know that’s not a bad thing, just unexpected. We’ll see how the rest of the sixer comes out for clarity.

Mar 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a medium cream light tan head. Good sticky lacing along the glas. The aroma is a roasted malt with toffee and caramel. The taste is roasted malt with chocolate and sweet finish. Easy to drink, a very good porter from Mad River.
