Black colored brew. Nice malty bitterness. Chocolate, coffee, hoppy. Nice one!

Apr 26, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Toasted malt aroma. Dark opaque black color with no real head. Near medium body with minimal carbonation. Light roast (touch of toast) malt with floral bitter and a hint of coffee. Finishes dry, but not astringently so. Really rather refreshing in a dark way.

Apr 14, 2008 On cask at the brewpub. As expected, this is a dark black beer, but there’s barely a head, even on cask. Coffee reigns here, with a bitter finish. Thinner than I’d expect from a cask porter, but the flavor saves the day. (#3406, 4/11/2008)

Dec 18, 2007 Draught at the brewpub. Black, near no head. Tarry licorice aroma. Aggresive resiny hops makes up most of the flavour. Dryish, yet syrupy. Tarry roasty finish. Some interesting flavours, but feels quite rough.

Oct 15, 2007 Sampled at Magnolia, June 2007. Dark brown with a thick light brown head (ruby edges). Roasty, caramel nose. Flavorful. Plenty of mocha, chocolate, caramel and coffee. Bitterness from some of the roasted malt. Medium bodied, too fizzy/overcarbonated for a porter - it put a bit of a damper on an otherwise fine beer. Tune this thing down a bit and we got a winner.

Oct 5, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Half pint. Relatively faint, lightly roasted aroma with some sweet choco malts. Perhaps a bit of anise present, too. Virtually opaque black-ish body with a moderate light brown head. Roasty, chocolate-like maltiness. A few tannins present, but still is smooth and creamy. A little overcarbonated. Pretty good stuff.

Jul 25, 2007 Hand-pulled cask at the brewpub in San Francisco. Deepest chestnut, almost black, with a thin tan coloured ring of a head. Smokey chocolate aroma, mouthwatering! Soft medium mouthfeel, faint woodsmokiness, chocolate, nuts, and a mildly bitter finish. Delicious!

Jun 28, 2007 Extremely dark. Vanilla roast nose. Smooth--but I had the cask version, offered side-by-side with the regular. Smoke driven in flavor, very much like a BBQ grill, some tobacco, chocolate. Interesting, but, dare I say it, too overpowering in some flavors? (on cask at brewpub)
