Apr 25, 2009 Good coffee smell, kinda watery and flat. It’s like a carbonated version of a cup of coffee. Just Ok.

Apr 11, 2009 Damn good porter. DAMN GOOD! Black pour with a tan head. Aroma is full of fudgy chocolate, coffee, roast, plums and a touch of smoke. Flavor follows with great roast and chocolate a bit of smoke and the slightest tart finish. Really an enjoyable porter.

Apr 11, 2009 Bottle, thanks to Daknole! Black, almost opaque with fizzy tan head. Fruit and lots of chocolate in the aromas, lots. Baltic porter flavors, very fruity with cherry tartness at the finish. Finish is also tannic and dry.

Apr 10, 2009 Very dark brown. Chocolate aroma, nice fudge notes. Lots of chocolate, good rich body. Chocolatey finish is thick, with a hint of roasty acidity.

Feb 9, 2009 A- Pours a pitch-black hue with brown highlights, head is brown, foamy and pillowy monster that is reminiscent of a Wendy’s Frostie, good retention, moderate lacing on the glass
S- Nose is big time malts- cocoa, coffee, molasses, brown sugar, some dark chocolate bitterness and a touch of citrus in the background (reminds slightly of a Karl Straus chocolate-orange porter firkin)
T- Initial taste is bitter dark chocolate and espresso, followed up by some tart and dark fruit flavors (fig/plum/cherry) that are a bit of a surprise, and finishes with slight hop dryness
M- Surprisingly light-to-medium bodied, texture is watery-to-creamy, and carbonation is subtle
D- Solid and tasty porter that is easy to drink, I think it captures the style well but is not ground-breaking on any front, a touch too bitter for my taste, but a good overall performer
