Aug 18, 2007 Bottle. Complex aroma of chocolate, coffee and toasted malt. Opaque brown/black color with a tan head that rapidly ringed. Medium bodied; creamy carbonation. Toasted malt, chocolate, coffee. The finish is quite dry, and there is enough bitter to say there is hop. But it could be the coffee. Wonderful stuff.

Apr 3, 2006 True they brew a "test positive" stout? Was wondering if this would be more good or gimmick and pleased to say that I enjoyed it - nice full body, leaning to sweet side with some molasses like flavor along w/ the roast character and nice bitterness.

Apr 1, 2006 12 oz. bottle, thanks to DarkElf for sharing. Pours dark brwon with a moderate sized tannish head and thick lacing. Sweet chocolate and roasty malt with coffee dominate both the aroma and the flavor. Medium to full body with smooth carbonation.

Mar 21, 2006 (12 oz bottle: Mt. Shasta Brewing Co. in Weed, CA) Bought this bottle when I visited the brewery seven months ago, and unfortunately, Shastafarian wasn’t pouring that day so all I can go on is the bottled version they gave me. Mt. Shasta has a very obvious signature flavor to all their beers: a very sweet and caramely maltiness. While this porter is moderately sweet, it’s nothing compared to most of their other brews. At least here, the sweetness is balanced by an ashy, bitter, dark roast. A bit of chocolate shows up toward the finish and the beer has a modest yeastiness to it as well. Medium-full body, well-carbonated but still quite creamy and smooth on the palate. Yeasty, lightly roasty nose is less appealing than the flavor. Very dark brown in color, nearly black. Big, energetic head is medium tan in color and very long-lasting, maintaining at least a quarter inch cap for the entire session. Possibly the best beer made at Mt. Shasta because of the balance it exhibits. Not great, but still quite nice.
