Aug 30, 2009 Dark chocolate and toffee nose with charred oak undertones. Very dark brown pour with a medium tan head. Dry flavor of charcoal, strongly bitter, but tastefully so. Pretty boring overall.

Aug 26, 2009 It pours a dark, opaque sable with a VERY thick, if not too persistent, light brown head. The bottle I got foamed like nobody’s business, so be careful if you have this in a bottle! Aroma is rich, smoky, mocha-like with a hint of sweetness, very inviting. Flavor is like fine roast coffee with chocolate undertones, but it got a bit tinny as I got near the bottom of the bottle. Texture is smooth and fairly tingly. Satisfying.

Aug 23, 2009 Serving: 16.9 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Almost black with garnet highlights and a huge, creamy, light tan head. Great head retention and lacing.
Aroma: Lighter than expected nose. Roasted malt, coffee, earth, and mineral notes. A little difficult to get much else.
Taste: Sharp, upfront bitterness, roasted malt, a little caramel, mineral, nuts, and earth. Sort of there then gone except for the bitterness.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-rich mouthfeel and a medium, nutty finish.
Overall: A decent porter with a good palate, but muted aroma and flavor.
Rebuy: Worth trying but not rebuying.

Aug 1, 2009 From the keg at Platform Bar, Brisbane. Pours very dark brown with a medium off white head. Rich dark chocolate, toast, mocha and dark fruit. Smooth mouthfeel and good bitterness. A nicely balanced porter. Big malty finish. My only problem is that one glass just isn’t enough!
