Apr 7, 2004 Bottled - bought at Happy Deli NYC. Aroma is of cooking chocolate. Almost black colour with little head. The taste is of bitter powdery chocolate and blackberries. A tad raw and unclean but interesting nonetheless.

Mar 30, 2004 On cask at Monty's Crown. Poured adark ruby red colour with a thick tan head. This was a great example of an American porter. It has a wnderfully smoky taste with hints of coffee and subtle hints of chocolate. One of the top ten porters in my book. I think having it on cask made it better than I could have imagined it being.

Mar 29, 2004 Batch #1499, bottled 2/19/2004. Ahh, now I remember why I got some Otter Creek this time. Malty, chocolatey, yet fruity aroma. Almost black but garnet-colored with a light directly behind it. Thin tan head but a rich body. Serious chocolate flavor with lots of coffee. Good bitterness at the end. Nice brew from Otter Creek.

Mar 27, 2004 Appears dark brown in color, but deep red when held in direct light. Disappointing small light brown head. Smells smoky and tastes like burnt mocha, but in a good way. A bit more body would work wonders. Overall, a good porter, but one that I probably wouldn't buy again.

Mar 19, 2004 Pours a robust dark brown with a thin tan head. Dry mildly roasted and burnt aroma. Starts sweet and roasty with good body, dark chocolate, and nice balance. Finishes semi-dry and crisp. A nice porter.
