Aug 29, 2007 Black bottle pour consisting of an amber-colored halo and a small tan head. Nutty, malt oriented aroma with hints of dark chocolate, coffee and some fruit. Great silky mouth feel leading to a big malt, hazelnut, and mocha taste.

Apr 7, 2008 16.9oz bottle. On point stuff. The aroma is spot on, chocolate and roasted malt scents all the way. Deep opaque black color. The malt character just shines with this beer. Super well-balanced and full bodied porter, while remaining completely drinkable. Chewy and big, one of the best porters out there.

Dec 22, 2009 Bottle. 22 oz. Split with Sean. Pours rich chicory brown, almost opaque with a thick, frothy amber head. Aroma of chocolate, brown sugar, toffee, barley, roasted malts, and hints of clove. Awesome body; coca-cola complexity and a crisp, yet slowly smooth finish. Hands down, best porter I have ever tasted. Absolutely excellent.

Dec 10, 2008 Best beer of the night at the Publick House near Boston. Deep ruby-red medium-bodied porter with flavors of toffee and coffee, and a slightly smoky finish. It tasted like a true British porter, whereas most American porters taste like stouts.
