Dec 31, 2007 Cooper’s- Chicago. Bottle. Aroma of coffee right away. Black, with a slight hint of burgundy red. Bitter coffee taste throughout, with bittersweet chocolate. A touch heavy with the carbonation detracts slightly. Overall was pretty good, but just a shade too bitter for my taste.

Nov 27, 2007 Part of a porter sampler six pack, Binny’s of Naperville. Poured from the bottle, dark black color with an ultra thin white head. Nose is rich roasted malts, molasses, dark chocolate, and raisins. Hints of something medicinal?? Medium bodied and creamy on the palate, but somewhat flat in terms of carbonation and rather unbalanced. Finishes slightly dry with a touch of hoppy bitterness.

Nov 18, 2007 Thin head, light lace. Solid black. Smells mixed of hops and malt, albeit faintly. Taste is hoppy, malty and almost fruity. Mouth feel is crisp, but not too crisp.Id agree with the person before me, this isnt what youd expect with a porter, but its still good beer. Worth a shot but only on occasion at the price.

Nov 15, 2007 12 oz bottle. It took a while for this massive tan, soft serve head to settle. Dark purple. Dusty grapes, coffee and cocoa. Up front hop bite, coffee, bittersweet chocolate and grapefruit peel. Tangy, persistent carb; medium light. Not what i look for in a Porter.

Nov 15, 2007 More like "water-heater" porter; Coffee and toffee aroma throughtout and pours a dissipating off-white head, some chocolate notes but overall a weak porter. It has talent and could be a contender of a great porter, but just no real finish in the back of the throat. Th best part is the aroma.

Nov 12, 2007 12oz bottle-pours a dissipating tan head and black color with red tint. Aroma is dark malt-chocolate/some coffee. Taste is dark malt-charcoal/chocolate/some coffee, secondary hops bite. Right on for style, but not my taste. Occasional. OK carbonation.
