Definitely not your Dad's Wimpy 30 weight. An enormous & luscious dark ale that's as opaque and dark as the most well used motor oils.

Black pour with no light showing through. Small, but creamy tan head that leaves nice lacing. Rich aroma of espresso and dark chocolate, with some sweetness as well. Roasty malt and hops in the flavor, with just a hint of caramel and fruit. Thick palate. Nice, not too bitter finish. Really good, especially for the price!

Motor oil with a 1/4 inch mocha head. This beer lives up to the definition of "DARK". Taste includes intense roasted elements (charcoal) along with black licorice and bitter chocolate. Have you ever allowed a marshmellow to ignite over an open campfire and let it smolder for 30 seconds or so...that is what comes through in this beer. Underlying sweetness but the burn is what dominates the palate. Good brew that I’d have again.

Tap @ Port Brewing Totally black pour. Aroma of toasted malt, there is a deep malt flavor some smokey creaminess. Somewhat of an alcoholic mouthfeel. Buy again

Bottle thanks to miketd. Poured a deep brown color with an inch thick, dense beige head that faded to a thin layer and left some . Aroma of light chocolate, some roasted malt, a light fruitiness, chalk, and a light woodiness. Smooth, moderately sweet entry with some light chocolate that leads into some soft undertones of roasted malt and a faint smokiness that follows into a light fruitiness on the finish with some lightly bitter, chalky undertones and some hints of wood. Moderate, tight carbonation and relatively smooth on the palate. This was very nice, and better than I expected. Thank you much, Mike!

Bottle. Lots of hops up front with chocolate acidity following. Something rummy and alcoholic, soft wood and orange peel. Dark and bubbly with a patchy creme head. Big bubbles and nice lace. Flavor opens soft and fills out with loads of roasted, bordering on burnt coffee. Light alcohol but well contained. Gets a bit too roasty at times, but the contrast is nice from the citrus at the opening. Throat coating but easy-drinking. An interesting beer that would likely benefit from some age.

Bottle shared by theisti with tjthresh and me. It pours black with a large, creamy head that reduces to a thin, mocha cap; quite pretty with patchy lace left upon the glass. The nose is of: chocolate, roasted malt and a lesser note of dark fruit. Medium-bodied and creamy-slick, it finishes with a warm, mellow finish. The flavor follows the nose: chocolate, dark roast, dark fruit and a dry, roasted finish. Wow! This is a great beer. Roasty, sweet, chocolaty and warm. Very nice. Thanks a ton for cracking this one for us, Tim!
