Sep 25, 2007 Bottle (batch no.262) shared with ozujsko, received in a trade with oh6gdx.
Opaque black colour, cappuclino like tan head that went away slowly. The nose is almost all chicory with a hint of chocolate, and the taste isn’t far off; strong chicory, a weak note of chocolate, a touch of alcohol. Not extremely complex but still a nice porter.

Sep 16, 2007 Poured a deep. dark mahogany color with a medium sized, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate malt, roast, nuts, ashy smoke, and some anise. Taste of more chocolate, roasted malts, and some dried fruits, with a creamy mouthfeel.

Sep 16, 2007 Glad to see this in NC. Pours a dark black (really dark for a porter) and shows a little light around the edges. The head is medium, tan, creamy. The aroma shows roasted coffee and chocolate immediately, sweet, light alcohol. Malt predominant. The hops don’t show until you taste it and then only barely. Tastes sweet, some molasses/brown sugar, roasted chocolate and coffee again, light light alcohol, some mild hop bitterness at the back of the mouth. Smooth roasted palate that finishes nicely. Excellent porter.

Sep 16, 2007 The color was a deep chocolate brown. The head was creamy, light beige, and laced a little. The aroma was alcohol, roasty, coffee, very malty, and some chocolate. The appearance and aroma reminded me of a stout. The flavor was sweet, coffee, and roast. There was a dry waxyness at the back of the mouth. The palate was smooth and slightly carbonated. The finish was warm and roasty.
