Jul 2, 2005 12 oz bottle. What better way to enjoy a Winter Ale then iting on your porch in July? This stuff pours almost black with a thin tan head and lots of lacing. Aroma is typical porter. The taste is spot on, with flavors of black licorice, bitter hops and lavender. Nicely done.

Jun 23, 2005 Blue Max Liquors, Burnsville, Mn - 12 oz bottle. Pours a coal black with a thick, frothy mocha colored head. Strong aroma of bittersweet chocolate and ripe fruit. Flavor has some good bitter chocolate notes with a bit of roasted coffee in there as well. Very smooth porter. Mouthfeel is just a tad thin though for a "winter" porter - but still a serviceable beverage.

Apr 29, 2005 04.23.05 Tap at TAP NY. Nearly black with huge head. Big cascades on aroma was a shock. Dry and roasty. Hints at vegetal (like a bunch of these Mendocino beers seem to do) but big roasty coffee comes in to make me forget all about any unpleasantness and a woody driness finishes. Really nice porter.

Apr 5, 2005 Picked up one of last 3 cases at Saratoga Brewery this weekend for $15.00. Good deal, as I think it’s actually better in the bottle than on tap-less oily-tasting.
