Feb 6, 2006 Draught. Black, opaque with brown bubbly head. Roasty chocolate nose and flavor. Very much like espresso. Bitter and roasty thoughtout with lingering bitterness. Almost too flavorful to be a porter.

Jan 4, 2006 On Tap at Papago Brewing Company: Dark fruity aroma with some roast in the nose; lots of Special B caramelness, roasty and vinous; cloying, syrupy body, pretty roasty for the style; very nice brew but a bit cloying and not entirely to style; definitely green, but nice.

Nov 30, 2005 Full-bodied, nicely roasty without being sharply so. Lots of malt. A slight off-flavor I cannot place detracted. I also found this interesting with a bit of Redstone Raspberry Nectar mead mixed in -- what a treat!

Nov 1, 2005 Couleur foncée allant vers le noir, bonne quantité de mousse beige de nature persistante. Arômes de cacao, de chocolat brun, de noix exotiques et de malt rôti. Les saveurs fruitées et de malt rôti s’expriment et s’harmonisent plutôt bien. Faible et adéquate touche d’alcool présente parmi la finale sèche. Texture poudreuse, corps vineux. Ma meilleure expérience avec les produits de cette brasserie jusqu’à présent. GABF 2005.

Oct 16, 2005 GABF 2005: I was standing right next to the booth when it was announced they had won the bronze medal for "other Strong Ale or Lager" whatever that means, so pour me a few samples!
Deep ruby brown hue with a big creamy head. The aroma is nutty, smoky, roasted and caramel malting, dates and prune, and some earthy yeast esters. The taste has a nice rich malt base with a sweet mocha and coffee bitterness. A bit a fruity and lactic twang is noticed on the finish. The feel is lively and sharp but the body is acceptable. A very brew, yummy.

Oct 10, 2005 Immense creamy beige head covers an almost black body. Roasted chocolate dominate the aroma, but a vast cereal and espresso underlying maze offer comfort to those who find the floral and herbal hops a bit too omnipresent. The date, fig and grape notes are genuine in the nose, but have the unpleasant consequence of unveiling tart and almost lactic acidity tha is too much for the roast. Light-medium body, more alcohol presence than most though not out of place.

Aug 24, 2005 Sweet, olives and prunes. Mouthy and malty. Quick creosote finish. A bit of a lager aftertaste. Some cola and cocoa.

Aug 19, 2005 Draught @ Papago. Pours a dark brown/black, with a very impressive dark brown head. Light lacing. Beautiful looking beer. Aroma is smoky and sweet cream and coffee. Flavor, coffee, and a bitter essence without being bitter, go figure that. Rich and creamy on the tongue. Really enjoyable pint of porter. Looking forward to having again.
