Aug 11, 2008 Updated: Jan 17, 2009Based on the heavy roast flavors, I would have thought this was an impy stout rather than a porter. Very flavorful with grainy coffee, chocolate, and a touch of ash. I expected a higher ABV on a beer with such big flavors. Fantastic beer that I could drink all day.

Aug 10, 2008 Pours black, with a dark brown head. Aroma is of strong roasted malts and slight coffee. Taste starts off with the malt flavor, chocolate and a slight bit of coffee. The more you drink, the more coffee and licorice flavors come out. Finishes deliciously with strong chocolate taste.

Aug 9, 2008 Thanks to allday drinker for shareing this with me on my birthday. It has a color that is blacker then the darkest night with a thin tan head that faded kind of quick. The nose is very robust with hints of coffee, roasted malt and mocha and you can pick some hints of almond. The taste is very smooth with a lot of roasted chocolate and mocha that sticks to your palate. I really like the aftertaste since it is extreamly roasted and does not ever fade, it is like having the beer in your mouth minus the liquid.

Aug 7, 2008 Lures you in wth the aroma of chocolate and coffee, very roasty and somewhat sweet first impression. Full bodied mouthfeel, creamy, nicely sweet and sticky. Finishes roasty, there is chocolate and coffee but also some notes of smoky goodness. A great porter.

Jul 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours opaque black without even a hint of light around the edges, no head at all. Aroma is baker’s chocolate, molasses, a bit boozy, soy. Taste is dark and roasty, dry, espresso, hint of alcohol, cocoa, and soy. Dry, roasty finish. Mouthfeel is smooth, viscous and thick, with a very faint carbonation.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle - thanks Death w a K- Deep black pour with a brown head. Rich liquor aroma with coffee and toffee. Carries into the pallet, pretty smooth and malty with a boozy roasted quality (ready for a cigar). Well blended and a touch of hops, great one this!

Jul 27, 2008 pours muddy black with a large rocky light brown head. Aroma is heavily malty of roasted malts, carmel, and cookies lightly hoppy and yeasty of dark fruits and a bit of bannanna and alcohol. Flavor is balanced twords sweet a bit, roasty malts, carmel almost toffee flavors, and dark fruit like figs. Finishes a little more bitter tha it started but roasty flavor finish it off. Fluu bodied, creamy and softly carbonated. Great!
