Aug 22, 2007 Bottle: Dark ruby color, maybe black, tan head, light lacing. Nose of grape, smoke, licorice, dry rice, some cherry or apricot. The flavor is very smoky and briney with vegetal notes and plenty of hops....vegetal hops. Roasty, spicy, hoppy. Finishes with a large intense body. Good combination int he end.

Dec 27, 2007 A large, frothy, tan head rests upon a cola-black body. Dense aroma is chock-full of sweet stuffs; chocolate, light roast coffee, raisins, dates brown sugar and red grapes. Some leather, pine and cedar fill in the remaining aromatic spaces. The flavour is mostly a direct translation of the aroma with a little more acidic sharpness than was indicated. But, overall, very much a big, lightly roasty, hoppy porter to my taste buds. Very rich, but with plenty of balance between hop and roast bitterness. Smooth texture, medium-full body and soft carbonation.

Apr 26, 2007 Bottle; "winter ale". Deep brown, with a thick tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Roasted chocolate malt up front with notes of caramel. Piney hop flavor is weak at first, but builds towards the finish. Long, well balanced finish.

Jul 7, 2007 This was quite possibly my favorite christmas beer. Brown color with a tan head. Some sweetness of chocolate and caramel, a bit of fruit and a bit of spice. Quite a bit going on here, great mouth-feel with chocolate, lots of malts - roasted, chocolate - some caramel and toffee. Interesting and complex.

Nov 11, 2007 Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured dark brown color with an average fizzy brown head that lasted and produced good lacing. Heavy complex toasted nutty malt and alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture. Heavy balanced nutty bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a standout beer.
