Nov 24, 2005 My favorite Otter Creek offering. Toasty malt greets, accompanied by surrounding hop presence. Finishes with a tantalizing bitter hop lingerness. First tasted it several years ago up in New Hampshire; glad it’s finally available down here in Maryland!

Nov 15, 2005 One of OC’s best products, IMO. This porter is up there with the best of them. Not sweet, but nice and smooth and dry. The color is exceptional.

Nov 5, 2005 On tap at Afterwards Cafe, Dupont Circle.
They list their 10 on tap beers from lightest to darkest. Nice touch. I started with second to darkest - this one.
Seemed weak. I moved on to the darkest, also by Otter Creek, Wolavers Oatmeal Stout, which was much better.

Nov 3, 2005 Dark brown appearance, decent head formation. Freshly baked, slightly burnt, cookie aroma, mildly citric hoppiness. Fairly thin on the palate with plenty of grapefruit hop citrus. Dark chocolate, nuttiness and mild coffee a but overshadowed by the hops.

Oct 24, 2005 I find this to be an excellent every day meal beer. Stands on it’s own but does not overpower food.

Oct 23, 2005 Pretty good beer and I’d have it again. Kind of smokey taste but certainly not overpowering. Nice mouthfeel and palate. Dark and rich tasting.

Oct 20, 2005 Ugh. This was very close to a drain-pour. There was a heavy bitter-smoky bite and insufficient sweetness to balance it. Thin mouthfeel, chemical aftertaste.
