May 24, 2004 Updated: May 31, 2009Attractive darkened amber with large foaming head. Aroma of caramelized malts, a mild dose of spicy hops. Barest hint of chocolate in the nose, which comes through better on the palate, with a semi-dry finish. Generally balanced and clean featuring malts. Medium bodied and quaffable. Certainly not complex but still rather pleasant and a fine enough session beer. It may be a blend of pilsner and porter, but it sure could pass itself off as an oscura lager. Rerate: tastes more like a weakened porter.

May 24, 2004 Sweet malty nose, copper, small tan head. Watered down chocolate flavour with a smidge of malt. Very thin, nothing special save for the little Beverly Hillbillies jug!

May 21, 2004 I’ve always thought these bottles were interesting so I finally picked one up. I feel a jug band in the making. Slightly dry, roasty notes and an inkling of a hop bite. Run of the mill.

May 13, 2004 Deep copper color with a lacing tan head. Light aroma. Not what I would expect for a Porter. Malty aroma. Caramely taste. Sweet too. Not too bad, but, still lacking heavily. Bought this bottle at Total Wine in Manassas, VA.

May 1, 2004 I personally didn’t think this was very bad at all. Coffee, Roasty, Smokey in the nose and flavor.

May 1, 2004 Dark brwon colo, huge medium diminishing head. Sweet malt nose. Light malt taste - but only if you try hard to taste it

Apr 24, 2004 Updated: May 16, 2004A porter? Are you f-ing kidding me? It was amber colored! This has the characteristics of a decent pale, but definitely not a porter. Some decent carbonation. Additional appearance points for the sweet bottle.
