Bottle. Good, but not great. A bit watery in the finish. Tons of coffee and chocolate up front, but finish takes away from the beer overall.

Poured a very dark brown. Slight frothy head. Incredible amount of chocolate, and a good, smooth, creamy mouthfeel. This isn’t an over the top porter, but I think it’s one of the best I’ve had. Well balanced, and easy drinking. Enjoyed every ounce of it. Definitely worth seeking out.

Bottled. Poured a clear, deep mahogany with garnet highlights and a creamy cap of dark-ish toffee head... I would have given it a "5" for the initial look.. but a quick recession lost a point. Even before this had a chance to breathe, I could tell that the aroma was fantastic!... dark and calculated deeply-roasted chocolate, singed molasses, and ample doses of fresh, medium-roasted coffee.. just drew me right in! Flavor doesn’t really skip a step.. well-roasted cocoa, semi-sweet, chocolate, and light espresso form a wonderful base that supports coffee bitterness along with some herbal and woodsy notes.. left a long finish with dueling sweet chocolate and coffee bitterness.. along with some random lactic notes. Just a bit heavier than medium-bodied with great flow and balance.. long and enjoyable finish. This was magnificent!

Rating #1800! Bottle from Premier Gourmet in Buffalo. Thanks to rudy for picking it up for me. Deep ruby-brown with a moderate tan head. Big, roasty aroma with notes of coffee, bitter cocoa, burnt sugar and oak.Slightly thin mouthfeel, but appropriate for the style. Fantastic flavour of dark chocolate, malted milk and slightly over-roasted coffee, with a lactic twinge and some alcohol warmth in the moderately dry finish. A bit strong perhaps, but pretty fine otherwise.

Poured dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma was a huge roast, some bread, and coffee. The flavor was heavily roasted, then switched to bread, and finished with more coffee. There was some flavor in between the roast and bread that I can’t place (cardboard?). Good body lots of malt.

Bottle. Pitch black colour. Yummy sweet roasted malty chocolate coffee aroma. Great flavour of roasted malt, nroasted caramel, dark chocolate, coffee, bit of dark fruits and hops. Roasty bitter finish. TOP BREW.

Bottle (500ml). Poured oily opaque black with slight reddish highlights and a solid, lasting light brown head. Oddly sweet and floral hop aroma, very light milk chocolate malt, a little coffee character. Lovely smooth chocolate roast malt taste, lactic and lightly nutty, mild floral hop and alcohol bitterness in the finish. Silky mouthfeel, very nicely carbonated, with gentle lactic acidity in the fairly short finish. Very nice, somewhat more warming than many porters, easy to drink
