Jul 18, 2008 Courtesy of Gilliard. The aroma is dusty with overcooked fruit notes, earth and fresh unwashed veggie notes. Some fairly noticeable alcohol too. The body is a ruddy brown with a receding tan head. The flavor is earthy, herbal, roasted malt and chocolate, dark rye bread and some mild sweetness, but that earthy/durty flavor is off putting.

Jul 13, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown with some reddish highlights when held against sunlight. Moderate tan head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass. Very pleasant aroma of chocolate and lightly roasted malt. The flavor is again chocolate and lightly roasted malt, along with a bit of coffee. Mild bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied. A very solid porter.

Jun 1, 2008 Poured a dark, nearly opaque mahogany color with a small, tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate, vanilla beans, and a touch of dark fruits. Taste was equally as roasty, with more chocolate, a bit of smoke, and some caramel, vanilla, and a dry finish. Thanks Mike!

May 26, 2008 From a 1 pt. 6 fl. oz bottle with no lot code or expiration date that I can spot. Pours dark brown with a tan/beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate or coffee and raisins. There is not smoked scent like some porters. There’s a wee bit of hops in the flavor as well as a bit of coffee. But altogether this goes down very smooth and creamy. One of the better porters I have sampled recently.
