May 18, 2008 I finally get another Arizona rating beside Cave Creek Chili Beer. A dark black appearance with a moderate tan head. The aroma contains some coffee, chocolate, whipped cream, and artifical creamer. The flavor is very silky with some german chocolate, whipped cream, and chocolate. A slight buttery mouthfeel. If you dont like hint of diacetyl you might not dig this, but I do!

May 10, 2008 Growler thanks to Bockyhorsey: Pours anboily opaque with a thin ring of wispy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel and roasted malts with some butterscotchy diacetyl. Body starts with decent fullness and sweet dark caramel malts with some slick diacetyl notes before a bittersweet roasty dark chocolatey finish. If you take out the diacetyl, this would be a very nice imperial porter.

May 10, 2008 Pours a beautiful brownish/back color that is slightly cloudy – with a small caramel colored ahead, with below average lacing and very under carbonated. Smells of burnt malts and cooked brown sugar. First taste is smokey with a heavy burnt malt taste. Taste like burnt campfire cooked marshmallows.

May 9, 2008 dark & roasty with a very pretty pour delivered to me at the brewpub. Strong coffee, with some coco hints, bubbly carbonation persists. Big and filling, a full pour drags on by the end of they cup.

Mar 28, 2008 Growler from Hellbilly, thanks! Very black with small chocolate head. Aroam of deeproasted malt, coffee, and some dark chocolate. The flavor was the same with lite sour bitter finish. Not bad,but I’d like just alittle more sweetness in there.

Feb 9, 2008 On tap at Papago Brewing.
Pours a nice dark brown with a decent sized head.
Smells like toasted barley, chocolate and coffee. Has a nice mouthfeel as well. Wow, the roasted barley or malt flavor really comes through on this one as well, very nice porter.
