Aug 24, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown with a light brown frothy head. Choco aroma abounds. Usual charcoal, burnt flavors with a bit of tanginess following it. Thin feel and a solid brew. Time to head to Weed.

Mar 23, 2008 Bottle. The name and label are just a little too cute. That plus the location conjures images of a couple of guys sitting around smoking enough to make any name sound like a good idea at the time. Pours nearly opaque blackish brown with a dark tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate. Creamy medium body and moderate carbonation. The taste starts out sweet with chocolate, roasted nuts, then dries out an moves to espresso a little ash on the finish. This one flirts more than a little with stout characteristics.

May 30, 2009 12oz bottle. Dark brown color that is a little on the light side for a porter, with a smallish beige head. The aroma is rich and intriguing with some toffee, roasted malt, cinnamon spice, nutmeg, and toasted grain. The flavor is like creamy chocolate milk with a light roasted edge and mild hops. A little bit on the sweet side and not very bitter at all. Really pleasurable overall with a silky medium body. The only thing that would make throwing more than one of these back easier would be a drier finish.

Sep 4, 2008 Pours dark brown with med. brown head and lacings. Nice cocoa hoppy aroma. Bitter chocolate taste. Very smooth and an easy drinker. Need to do a side-by-side with Deschutes Black Butte Porter which I consider a benchmark porter. This version is really good. Recommended.

Apr 17, 2009 Six pack from Market of Choice. Pours out a deep brown with a small tan head. Aroma of roast, caramel, chocolate and a light hint of coffee. Flavor much the same, with a very nice dry finish. Miles better than their Lemurian Lager.
