Birdiebeagle (778), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 8, 2009 Bottle Pours a good black with a dark tan head. The head is creamy and lasting. Produces very good lacing. Has a great aroma of caramel, toffee, chocolate, and coffee. Has a good carbonation and a wonderful mouthfeel. The flavor is great. Aperfect mix of hops and malts. Has a thick texture. A real good finish and an aftertaste that stays with you for what feels like days. This is an awesome beer that I have come to expect from Port Brewing. Very well done. soyorganic (217), Denver, Colorado, USA Jun 8, 2009 A sweet caramel, toffee and hop aroma. It has a smooth dark malt taste with a little sweetness, toffee under notes and then with hops bitterness being the strongest taste. I like the aroma more than the actual taste, but very good. savnac (394), Palmer, Alaska, USA Jun 6, 2009 22 oz bottle. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, coffee and toffee. Dark brown with a big fluffy light brown head. Sweet flavor with lots of chocolate bitterness and an alcohol taste. Medium to full bodied with a smooth silky mouth feel, average carbonation. This is a great beer, alcohol is a bit hot but might do well with some age. leems (147), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 6, 2009 Poured from a bottle dark redish brown with a small tan head. Aroma was coffee and roasted malts and alcohol. Flavor was molasses, coffee, malty sweet but not overly so and a little oak bite. Butters (1622), Virginia, USA Jun 2, 2009 Sampled at Springslicker’s Fish Fry ’09. First Batch. Very dark brown with a tan head. Roasty, with pine hop bitterness. Resiney. Slight chocolate, smoke. It was good, but overrated IMO. Or maybe this first run just had too much age on it. deyholla (506), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Jun 2, 2009 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma consisted of roasted malts and coffee, with a hint of smoke. Flavor combines the aroma well and adds a nice sweetness. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA May 31, 2009 bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours very dark brown with a tan head. It smells of roast malt and coffee. It tastes of dark roast malt, smoke, and coffee with some bitterness in the finish. This brew is full bodied and very good. KnN (712), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA May 31, 2009 Poured a really dark red/brown with a tan head. Aroma was alcohol, vanilla, chocolate, malt, caramel, there was a lot going on here. Flavor was very complex as well, lots of sweet characteristics, dark fruit, anise. This was a deep beer and would probably age wonderfully.
