Beershine (1440), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Oct 2, 2008 Draught @ brewpub. Opaque brown with tan head. Mild coffee aroma with some rain-on-asphalt notes. Nice aroma. Low carbonation. Thins out in the finish. Too much coffee at the beginning. Sourness at the sides of the tongue and then no roasted malt backbone to support the coffee flavors. Lots of coffee, little porter. blipp (818), Grand Island, New York, USA Aug 16, 2008 Bottle at Smokeless Joes in Toronto. Pours near black with a tan head. Sweet aroma of coffee and fruit. Flavor is a bit smoky and sweet, very roasted, with loads of coffee and a bit of fruit and caramel. Very nice. Gypsy19 (219), AMERICA RISING, USA Aug 13, 2008 Courtesy of Tommy84. Coffee indeed. Perhaps even a little too much of it, but a great element nevertheless. Very roasted flavor overall. A little bit of sweetness could’ve made this beer even better. In any event, satisfying, recommended. hopson (499), Williamsville, New York, USA Jul 21, 2008 pint-brewery- delicious- strong semi-astringent bitterness that undoubtedly recalls coffee. smooth roasted flavors accompany. a fine porter. Linus_Stick (1560), Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 4, 2008 Via trade with matt7215. Thanks! A delicious porter. Aroma was weak for the style and what the name suggests. Of course, there was coffee throughout. Pour was a nice deep dark brown with a thin near tan ring for a head. Taste was very full. Strong coffee with caramel malt in the front and a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. Decent carbonation and mouthfeel. Nice.
