Bottle from Marcus - Thanks! Interesting aromas of toasted malt, chocolate, reddish fruits, and perhaps a bit of coffee. Opaque brown/black color with a beige/tan head that’s respectable. Medium body with smooth frothy carbonation. Flavors are sharp burnt malt, coffee, chocolate, hop bitter and more. The finish is dry, and a bit muddy as the flavors intermingle. Decent amount of burnt toast and bitter. Really good to drink.

dark violet black color with small brown head. chocolate berry aroma with a light spicy mocha note. smooth soft body. deep chocolate, blackberries, and currant flavors. there is a very small roasted coffee undertone. it has a bitter sweet spicy finish. delicious brew, fruity and warming.

From Firemoose15 via trade a while back. Thank you! The pour was a fairly standard one for a porter. Super dark brown with lighter brown and ruby highlights on the peripheries. The head was two-fingers or more tall and tan. Clingy bits of lacing. The aroma was roasted malt, chocolate, light licorice and even a little bit of spicy hops. The flavor was heavy on the roasted malt and spice with chocolate and licorice nicely cutting through. Fairly lively carbonation initially but that dissipated quickly. The mouthfeel was fine, unremarkable. A nice, roasty porter.

bottle. pours a jet black, with a thick, incredibly dense, tan head with great retention and nice sheets of lacing. smells of bittersweet cocoa, coffee, burnt wood, as well as some raisins and berries. bitter semi-sweetened dark chocolate taste with more roasty coffee notes backing it up, in addition to more grapey and raisiny notes, as well as a light floral hop character. slow, lingering, pleasant bitter finish, leaving a sort of grapey wood aftertaste, with a very light sweetness for balancing; quite dry. medium bodied and lots of creamy carbonation, for a very silky mouthfeel. i always want porters to be thicker, so that they can be stouts, but this is an exceptional example of the style, and i very much enjoyed it.

Pours pitch black with a good sized tan head. Nose has noticeable cocoa powder tones and coffee notes as well. Flavor is more along the roasted edge. as it warms up there seems to be a sweet edge that borders on being berry influenced almost. Stays nice and rounded and a good aftertaste is left to linger. Feel is smooth. Carbonation is higher. Drinkable, yes. I like.

served cold from a 22 oz. bottle. pours a dark, dark brown with a tan colored head that dissipates rather quickly. i didn’t notice the lacing, sorry. the aroma is great with roasted malts, a hint of coffee, maybe some fruity notes? the flavor is great. roasted malts all over, with hints of everything else noted in the aroma coming at seemingly different times. a great, great porter. one of the best i’ve had in a while.

Bottle. Dark brown. Head is uneven in color and dissolves very quickly. Strong aroma gets even through my cold and has liquorice, roasted malt and coffee. Smells like a dark beer should even if my nose is not as sharp as it could (have a cold). This has a myriad of small flavors. Every mouthful tastes different. Roasted malt is the main flavor but all the other stuff gets through. Has coffee, chocolate, hops, butter, some straw?berries, some liquorice, other things I have trouble placing with my limited experience . Bitter finish that I love. Aftertaste could be fuller but that’s the only caveat I can think of. Love the low carbonation and the oily, drinkable mouth feel. Excellent. 090208

Pours pitch black with a tan head. Aroma is dark, ripe fruit with a bit of coffee. Great flavor of coffee and fruit. Great mouthfeel and just the right amount of carbonation. Nice slightly bitter finish.
