Jun 21, 2008 Bottle; poured a dark, cola brown with a little light brown head. Aroma of sweet chocolate, caramel; light roasted malt presence. Low carbonation; soft on the palate. Flavor was ok, but unexciting. Caramel mostly with some chocolate and roasted notes. Forgettable.

Jun 18, 2008 Bottle from Mystery Beer Swap 3.0. Pours a dark brown color with a medium sized tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. Taste of vanilla, chocolate, and roasted malt. Has a dry, slightly bitter finish. Nice brew.

Mar 21, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear medium-deep brown with a short-lived cap of beige head. The aroma picked up sweetened-up caramel and sweeter chocolates with light roast to it.. some herbal accents and a touch of oak. The flavor was chocolate-based and sweeter with notes of cola and tea.. sticky molasses, herbal, and medicinal notes at the finish. Medium-bodied with low carbonation on the palate.. OK balance.. a bit too sweet.

Mar 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear dark brown that allows diminished light to pass through when held against a lamp. Moderate off-white head that lasted until mid-glass and left a layer of lace after each sip. Pleasant aroma of malt with some sweet notes detected as well. Equally pleasant flavor of malt, caramel and orange pekoe tea with some decent hops bitterness at the finish. I was surprised to read this was a porter; I would not have guessed it, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Mar 3, 2008 12 oz bottle. Dark but clear purple brown with a smooth beige head. Nose of grassy grape juice. Medium light with buzzy carb. Taste is plum and nutmeg. Gets bitter with dry grapefruit peel. Kind of a spiced IPA to me.

Jan 31, 2008 Thanks to Alldaydrinker for the bonus. Pours a deep rich ruby red highlighted brown body- thin tight off beige head and a nice lace. Aroma is Diacetyl right from the start- sweet butter, kettle corn, and not much roast or chocolate. Flavor is sugary sweet, some aspertame fakeness, more butter, toffee, toasted malts, light caramel- where is the chocoalte or roast or nuttiness? I thought this was a porter? Finish is slick and very sweet. Meh.

Jan 30, 2008 Sweet caramel chocolate aroma, very nice. Basic, but almost perfect porter color, maybe a little watery looking. Sweet, roasty, burnt, tangy taste. Also tastes like bland malty crutons, in a good way. Also a hint of mocha. Dry finish, i nice local porter.

Jan 21, 2008 This has a nice dark color and a rather thin head with some really nice laceing alongthe sides of the glass. the aroma is nice and earthy with a floroal finish to it. As I take a sip it is nice and creamy and has some hints of wood which makes it very refreshing.
