Jul 2, 2005 Sampled on tap. The appearance is a thin, fully lasting white head with so-so lacing. The color is a realy dark yet still translucent red body. The aroma is a chocolatey roasted malt with something strange in it. (herbs?). The flavor is much of the same and is kinda weird and herbal.

Jun 29, 2005 I think this has been a little under-rated here- it is a well made porter- a little mild, but is chocolaty, hoppy and dry. The color is a little light, but I think well within the style- and for the rest, porter is a rather flexible style anyway.
Recommended session porter.

Jun 26, 2005 Bottle shared with GregClow, tupalev & jerc -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a dark brown with a small off-white head. A mild coffee and light hops aroma. Flavour is surprisingly hoppy for a porter. Some bitterness from roast malts and hops. I really liked this.

Jun 18, 2005 Bottle from Premier Gourmet, Buffalo - thanks to rudolf. Shared with blankboy, tupalev & jerc. Ruby-brown colour. Aroma of fresh coffee & smoky hops. Well balanced roasty flavour, with a dry, moderately bitter finish. A simple but well-made porter.

Jun 18, 2005 Really dig the label and name on the bottle. Dark brown pour, creamy tan head. Slight smokiness and coffee in aroma. Nice coffee/porter roasted taste. Short finish. Nothing really outstanding just a solid quaffable porter. This is what Sleeman’s Fine Porter at Christmas was trying to accomplish but failed miserable at.

Jun 17, 2005 Ruby brown body, a tiny beige head. Muted roast and chcoolate in the aroma, similar flavours with a good dose of hoppy bitterness throughout that lingers in the aftertaste. Average but enjoyable.

Jun 1, 2005 Bottle 12oz - Pours deep dark brown with a short quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma is of coffee caramel and slight hops. Flavor is smoky slightly bitter yet seductively sweet at the end of the sip. On the palate it is rather watery but finishes slightly dry. Not bad just not outstanding for the style.
