Nov 28, 2009 Dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is malty with a nice refreshing yeasty touch. Flavour is very malty and round with notes of chocolate, caramell and nuts. Ends on a lightly dry note with lingering hops and caramell sweetness. Very well balanced with a very smooth medium body.

Nov 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a rich, deep black. Aroma is plastic coffee and chocolate dust. Flavor is a seemingly oxidized mess of bitter chocolate malt and stale floral hops. Weak on the tongue. Avoid.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle pours a deep mahogany body with a thick cocoa hued head that leaves sheet lacing wheni it finally subsides. Aroma has roast coffee, dark fruits(figs and dates), anise, and chocolate. Full body is supported by a coating and smooth carbonation. Taste is dominated by coffee notes. Chocolate and anise are evident. Dark fruits, mostly prunes, linger in the back ground. Finishes with roasty coffee notes.
Excellent winter porter.

Nov 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours deep dark brown with a long lasting tan head. Sweet aroma, honey with bitter chocolate and nutmeg. Definite sweet caramel and chocolate flavor, a touch of underlying hop bitterness, cinnamon and a some other spice in there also. Very sticky and thick. Very good, this is almost a stout but lacking that roasted flavor.

Nov 17, 2009 Pours a coffee black with minimal, off white head. Nose smells like a spiced stout with notes of cinnamin and chocolate. Very smooth taste. Flavors of stout, mild seasonal spices, and chocolate come through in a nice blend. Slightly alcoholly but pleasant. Very nice beer.
