Jun 8, 2004 On tap at the brewpub: Blackish brown with a small tannish head. Chocolate aroma, smooth in the mouth, but a little too flat. Starts and ends sweet.

Jun 5, 2004 Dark brown with ruby highlights and a small off-white head. Sweet malt aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. Flavors of chocolate and roasted malt with a tangy sweetness.

Mar 22, 2004 Thin body, heavy on the roast in aroma and flavor, but not so much that it is a stout.

Jul 20, 2002 Updated: Mar 10, 2003July 02: On tap at the Vermont Brewers' Fest. Lightish, dry robust porter. Ok body, not much aroma, rather undistinguished roastiness, little sweetness, boring.
March 03 at the pub: seemed thinner, blander, very dry, somewhat (inappropriately I think) acidic at the finish. Some chocolate if you look for it. Often porters are the best beers at so-so brewpubs, I find; this is about as good as all of their other beers, which is to say not at all good but not terrible enough for me to go back to the place and burn it down either. At the rate I'm going though I'll find a brewpub that bad very soon.
