Feb 10, 2005 Dark, almost black. Some cocoa and coffee aromas. Smooth initial taste with slighty smoky light toasty maltiness. Good hoppy finish that lingers just long enough.

Jul 17, 2005 Bottle at Cafe Amsterdam, Anchorage AK. Black as night but only a thin watery edge. Nice little burnt-malt aroma. Rich toasted malt with subtle smoke underpinnings. Outstanding.

Dec 31, 2005 One of the best Porters I’ve had. Beautifully dark and rich, with no afterbite. A flavor combination that mixes well on the buds.

Aug 10, 2006 Bottle from Super Saver that I am opening as I type this. The rating is very high, and that is good. The pour is dark blackish with almost no light through my desk lamp, and a minimal brown head. The aroma is heavy corn flakey malty, with some cacao, brown sugar, and molasses. The palate is rich and complex, with a great roasty dark patent malt flavor up front, giving way to a lot of chocoff hints, plus some molasses, prunes, slight cherry, and ovaltine. Very complex and well balanced, this is a repeater for next week.

Mar 9, 2005 Rich dark walnut-stain with tiny lacy head, smelling of chestnuts. Mouthfeel is light yeat meaty--rich in a cash-money, not a butterfat kind of way. Coffee, honey (a toned-down version of the uber-tasty Black Abbot by same brewers), and a touch of milk-porter. Finish introduces and then dismisses hops in a polite and professional manner. A very dynamic and impressive beer--with none of the 7+ abv showing at all. One of my new favorites.

Dec 28, 2004 Updated: Mar 15, 2005Surprisingly complex and full bodied. Black with a syrup texture. Huge malt aroma with wild rice and fruit. Flavor is complex with a great port flavor,fruit, malt, coffee, light chocolate, and a very good, mild acidic bite at the end. Excellent. Best at room temperature.

May 26, 2005 I wish I could recall where I got this from cause it is awesome. More hoppy with roasted grains than sweet with chocolate. Pours pitch black with just the faintest of red.
