Aug 5, 2005 Dark brown with flecks of red. Medium off-white head. Chicory, roasted malt aroma. Roasty flavor, but not overly so. Light on the palate, a touch watery, with low carbonation.

Jul 24, 2005 Nice dark roasted chocolate malt aroma. Deep dark red body. Thin ring of off-white head. Flavor is of lactose. Dark chocolate, dry. More stoutish than porterish. Not overly enjoyable, but not bad.

Jul 14, 2005 Translucent, deep brown with scarlet accents. Aroma is cocoa powder and caramel soda syrup. Flavor confirms aroma suspicions, along with new elements of oats, maple and brown sugar. Hop profile is lower than I’d like. All in all, a standard brewpub porter.

Jun 30, 2005 Dark with no head. Nose is thin hops and malts with just a tab of coffee and chocolate towards the back. The taste is just about the same but softer and less interesting. As bland as I found this I was suprised that others liked this one.

Jun 24, 2005 On tap at the brewpub/restaurant in the Wisconsin Dells. Pours a dark black with a nice mocha colored head. Some fresh lake water accents in the aroma, no tmuch else. Has somewhat of a malty bent to it, but overall quite bland, but not ad tasting. Has hints of chocolate and coffee, but you really need to seek them out. Hints of licorice sweetens it up a bit more. Decent mouthfeel.

Jan 29, 2004 Deep dark clear mohagany. Head is a spongy light cocoa color. Aromas of dark chocolate and light coffee. Roasted malts and light mocha flavors. Somewhat like a schwartz ale with a few more hops.

Jan 12, 2004 I had this at the brewpub on 12/27, 3 days after it was available according to the bartender that served me. The draught glass was dark (limited lighting) with a nice looking creamy head that sustained well and with good lace. The aroma was quite roasty and hop like. The flavor was of roasted malt and a good hop balance with a real nice body. Overall, I really liked it.
