Feb 5, 2008 The color is a too light for what I’d call a porter, with hardly any head. The smell is roasty and winey, with a dash of cirtic hops. Some dairy and coffee aromas, and faint cardboard and plastic. Very creamy and rich, warming and soothing. Clean on the palate, very bittersweet. The coffee and chocolate notes shine though, with sulfuric acidity. Long, creamy finish prevails in the end. Good stuff coming from a brewery I never took too seriously before.

Aug 4, 2008 From bomber. Rich malt, roasted grain, chocolate and Tootsie Roll, light molasses and a bit of smoke. Dusty, light herbal notes. Carbonic and light alcohol vapor. Sweet, musky, and pleasant. Dark brown-black clear, with thin off-white, almost tan, lightly lacing head. Medium heavy watery body, with light to medium carbonation, smooth. Starts sweet with chocolate and Tootsie Roll, mild toffee and molasses. Some bitter roasted malt in the finish with mild hoppy bitterness. Not harsh in the finish, but rather creamy and smooth. A tad watery, but very flavorful and satisfying. After is sweet with coffee and chocolate, light licorice, but in no way cloying.
