Nov 23, 2007 Black color with thick dark tan big bubble head. Staight forward and overpowering malt aroma of roasted chocolate and roasted coffee. Substantial amount of hops in this but the sweetness, and malt dominate. A little smoky. Full bodied is an understatement, more like syrup.

Nov 22, 2007 Very black, very brown head. Relatively small head that slowly but completely disappeared after awhile. Alcohol is quite strong in the aroma. Also, a hint of cherry in the aroma that,combined with the alcohol smell, gave a wine like character. Taste is good, but somewhat muted and overwhelmed by the alcohol. Excellent finish with a delicious residual malt flavor that sits around the front edge of the tongue. Smooth mouthfeel.

Nov 20, 2007 16.9oz. bottle into pint glass. Been trying to get this stuff for a long time. It was well worth the wait! Pours a deep black with a beautiful dark red head that laces nicely. Heavy aromas of campfire smoke, roasted malts, caramel and coffee. Flavor is of coffee, simi-sweet chocolate, smoke, toffee and a hint of fruit. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy. Easily the BEST porter I have ever had. Wonderful stuff.

Nov 17, 2007 Updated: Dec 4, 200716.9 oz bottle from Holiday Wne Cellar: Pure black color with a dark chocolate cocoa head. Aroma is dark chocolate, coffee and smoke with a wiff of alcohol. Flavor starts semi-sweet dark chocolate followed by a little coffee and some nuttiness finishing lightly bitter with just a hint of sweet black licorice. Medium-full body is smooth and creamy with soft carbonation. An awesome brew.

Nov 16, 2007 Thick oil black pour with a minimal dark brown head. Chocolate malt, vanilla extract aroma. Taste is roasted barley, chocolate malt, dark fruit and hint of coffee and tobacco. Really nice dry finish with a hint of coffee on the back of the tongue. Very well balanced and easy drinking. Be careful of the sneaky alcohol. Easily the best porter I have ever had.
