Dec 28, 2003 Standard porter fare. Pours dark garnet red-brown, with a medium creamy off-white head. Cereal, toast, and roasted malt aroma. Nice chocolatey roasted malt flavor. Medium body. Tasty but not pushing any boundaries.

Oct 29, 2003 Rather thin, but chocolatey throughout. Body needs something extra, maybe more bitterness, too, as the choclate taste just lingers on...

Oct 9, 2003 Draft, at MBC taproom. Whew! Last beer of a very large sampler tray (but I still their bottled beers to try)! Even though I'm sated with a dozen different beers, this one still pops through. A dark ruby glass, then a roasted but not burnt mocha coffee taste. Even get a bit of toffee to it.

Jul 28, 2003 MIBG Fest: Dark ruby-brown colour with small head. Nice chocolate notes in the aroma, and a mild roasty flavour with a well-balanced hop finish. A decent but thinnish porter.

Jan 13, 2003 Dark brown appearance. Light fruit and a touch of roast in the nose. Body is smooth with a touch of fruit, maybe some cherry. Light coffee notes and a little sweetness. Finishes a little thin but comes across fresh.

Jan 1, 2003 Dark black brown color, medium head.Aroma is chocolate malt and hoppy. A medium bodied porter. Deeply roasted malts, chocolaty and somewhat sweet. Some hop spiciness? Nice balance. Good flavor, complex and clean taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly malty. A nice lighter bodied porter.
