Mar 1, 2005 The look I love: dark, almost black body under a nice tan head. Aroma was lightly chocolate, roasted grain, some hops, some coffee. Not very intense. The mouthfeel was light bodied for a porter. A little too much carbonation for my tastes and too watery. The flavor was subtle and pleasant but not robust as a poter should be. Same notes of chocolate and coffee and light hops.

Feb 17, 2005 Very dark brown, but see through, little head. Aroma had notes of chocolate and some roastiness. Chocolate and roast flavors dominate, emphasis on the roast. Balanced overall, with some nice depth of flavor, without getting cloying or astringent. This is well made, but I just couldn’t get into it for some reason. I think I’m losing my palate for porters.

Feb 16, 2005 Roasty smell over a blackish (with a wee bit of ruby showing through if you look carefully) color. Malty and hoppy with a big chalky, roasty flavor.

Feb 10, 2005 a really nice porter. dark brown pour with a tan head. smells like coffee and chocolate, a nice sweet and malty beer. not bad in the least, certainly something to drink again as well as recommend to anyone who favors the style.
