Feb 4, 2007 Appearance is almost black with a pure brown head. Aroma has moderate appeal of herbal roast. Taste is full of roast, but is not overpowering like other stouts and is quite well balanced. I don’t pick up any chocolate or coffee flavoring. Finish is dry with a note of hops, but still smooth. Not a great flavor sensation, but well balanced if you like a roast taste.

Jan 30, 2007 12 oz bottle-poured a black coffee color w/no head, did have some decent legs/lacing. Roasted malt aroma. Had some sweetness up front, a little chocolate & coffee, also had some fizz/carbination. Nice smokey flavor w/a long full finish. Not overly complex/intense; enjoyable & refreshing. This is one of the few porters/stouts which could be a sesson brew. I’ll have this one again.

Jan 26, 2007 Updated: Mar 24, 2008I have had worse. This is a decent porter but not one of the best of its style but very enjoyable. Pours a nice dark brown. Medium head. Has a bit of a chocolate flavor with a decent amount of maltyness. Is is yeast I taste? I’m not sure. Tastes a bit watery but not too bad. I have it again.

Jan 26, 2007 It carries a roasted aroma of coffee and chocolate. It is well bittered with grassy hops. The mouthfeel left a little to be desired. In seemed slightly thin and perhaps a bit basic. Overall, a good example of an American Porter. This would make a decent session ale.
