May 19, 2006 Pour was dark with a light tan head. Nose was smoke, which for me is not so great. Taste was smoke, porter stand byes, with more smoke.

May 15, 2006 Black with thick, tan head. Nose of smoke, ash, burnt wood, and bacon. Same flavor but toned down on all fronts. I’m still looking for the porter part of this brew. Medium/light, balanced body. Very drinkable. Not bad, but too light, especially for a porter.

May 12, 2006 DL06: My last rating from the Dark Lord road trip extravaganza. Poured a very dark brown color with small tan head. Big smokey aroma over a fair amounted of roasted malt.. Light chocolate flavor followed by roasty malt and a decent balance of smoke. Thin body.

May 8, 2006 Opaque black, with a small tan head, that left light lacing left on the glass. Aroma of chocolate malt, roast, some like smoke as well. Taste of sweet chocolate up front, some roasted malts, grains and finishing with dry, smoked wood. Somewhat astringent mouthfeel.

May 5, 2006 Bottle. Dark brown hue with an average frothy off-white head that mostly diminished with good lacing. Moderate toasted smoky aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light sweet smoky flavor with a light bitter finish of average duration.

May 3, 2006 bottle, at Dickinsonbeer’s pre-TAP gathering. this was opened after midnight, when Paul was getting bottlecaps snapped into his glass of houblon. those who weren’t flinging bottlecaps were passed out. dark brown color, smoky aroma. some charred meat aroma too! flavor is cigar-like and smoky, but still medium sweet. dryish bitter aftertaste.

Apr 25, 2006 Thanks to Tronraner for sharing this one!
Black with a mocha head.
Smoky bacon and coffee come easily from this one.
Silky smooth with a sweetness underneath the smoky malt. Underrated or we all just shared a very good bottle.

Apr 17, 2006 Bottle. Poured a deep black with a tan head. Big aromas of first thing in the morning while camping (ok, I’ll go with smoked bacon and coffee also). The flavor was smokey (like jerky) with hints of chocolate and some coffee. Slight bitter ending. tronraner must of had a heads up on the menu because this WAS the perfect pairing with Jay’s brats! Thanks tranraner for sharing this at the Tennessee Tasting!
