Apr 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep brown color. Almost black. With a light tan colored head that shrinks quickly but maintains a heavy lacing. Roasted chocolate malt aroma with some bready notes. Chocolaty with tons of bitterness. Big coffee notes with some caramel apple flavors. Clean dry finish with a small amount of mustiness left on the palate. Very Nice.

Apr 11, 2007 500mL bottle. Pours a dark, brownish-orange color; small, light-tan head with a bit of lacing. Lots of cocoa powder and burnt / charred malts in the aroma; pleasant smokiness, with a fair bit of alcohol. Medium, roasted malt and bitter chocolate mouthfeel: citrus hops and a burnt malt / smoke character poking through as well; nicely balanced and drinkable. Medium, burnt and roasted malt finish.

Apr 10, 2007 Dark brown to almost black body with a creamy light brown head. Nice aroma of charred and smoked malt and peat. Creamy texture, low but proper carbonation for the body, and with a light milk and cream flavor surrounding the more dominate chocolate flavored malts. Low hop presence which is always appreciated in porter. Rich and delicious.

Apr 9, 2007 0.5L poured deep dark amber with frothy malted milk shake head. Chewy aroma of molasses, chocolate, coffee, burnt malts and a hint of vanilla. The flavor starts with roasted to burnt malts. The dry maltiness slowly bleeds into sweet and syrupy notes starting with coffee then rolling into molasses, sweet chocolate, a hint of sweet caramel and an even fainter hint of dark fruit. I love the way it begins in standard porter fashion and then adds malty sweetness and smooth complexity as the taste progresses. In the after taste I’m left with a classic porter black patent burnt malt flavor. As it warms I get freshly cooked brownies and dark fruit compote.

Apr 6, 2007 Definitely get the coffee, not as much the dried fruits. More of a nuttiness, really. Damn tasty, but the palette seems just a bit thin to me for a porter.

Apr 5, 2007 Roasted malts and coffee aroma wasps over a deep black pour with a little beige head. Very creamy and effervescent. Lots of deep malts mingle with the tanginess of centennial hops, tastes like a scoop of vanilla ice cream was dumped in this. Some roasted peanut flavor. This is very nice.
