May 9, 2007 Bottle shared by puddintane: Pours black with a tan head. Aroma, coffee, chocolate, and an earthiness, nothing to remarkable on the aroma. Flavor, roasted malts, lots of coffee, a nice roasty bitterness, chocolate, and some earthy notes on the finish. If the aroma was half as nice as the flavor this would be great.

May 8, 2007 A really wonderful treat. 22oz bottle from Liquid Solutions. The nose on this baby is immediately powerful, with a lovely aroma of chocolate malt wafting out consistently. It pours viscous and black, with minimal lacing. With an ABV like this, it’s not super rich and heavy, but the coffee tastes like it’s added in a cold filtering process and it’s really well integrated with a solid porter. The result is a beer that’s smooth, complex, and just a bit smoky at the end. Very nice stuff, probably my favorite from this brewery so far.

May 6, 2007 Bottle: Thanks IndianaRed for this one. Pours a fairly dark black color, small brown head. The nose is robust and smoky with lots of coffee undertones. The flavor is sweet and roasty, light astringency and a decent coffee/mocha flavor toward the backend. Some subtle chocolate and lots of smoke. Good intense porter.

May 4, 2007 Bottle: Poured a dark brown with a modest tan head and nice lacing. The nose is rich with coffee and heavily roasted malt. Coffee in the name, coffee dominates the flavor. More roasted malt and hints of bittersweet cocoa. Thanks Indiana_Red for sharing.

May 2, 2007 Aroma is huge malt and coffee bean mix,that is quickly beaten down to a strong coffee bean flavor. Taste is strictly coffee shop bean aroma and roasted malt taste,with a thickish but pleasant coffee bitter taste at the end. Not overpowering ,but a smooth tastey coffee sipper . Have yet to taste a bad Alaskan brew

Apr 17, 2007 Courtesy of puzzl. Thank you, sir. At first the aroma is a touch dusty, but that clears up and cocoa, coffee and chocolate stand out along with some mild roasted malt notes. The body is black and holds a firm and lasting mocha colored head. The first sip seems a bit thin, but the flavor is fairly nice witht he expected coffee/esspresso and chocolate notes and a restrained toasted/roasted malt presence. Gets a touch earthy/dusty again (like the aroma) in the finish, but overall a very pleasant brew.
