Aug 9, 2006 Dark black color with a medium-sized tan head, leaving behind some serious lacing on the glass. Sweet aroma of malt, dark roasted grains, and some general sugary sweetness. Nice rich malty and dark (burnt) grain flavors, with just a tiny bit of hops to balance things out, as well as a hint of coffee. Somewhat thin (not at all heavy) body, with a smooth, silky mouthfeel and a dry (just barely hoppy) finish. Pretty good brew, no question about it.

Aug 3, 2006 A little thin for my tastes, though it could be because I had it alongside the Portsmouth Kate. Black pour with no head. Lighter aroma of caramel and roasted malt. More chocolate and sweetness than expected. Good hop bite in the back. Very good.

May 1, 2006 Pours a nice lightish black with ruby highlights and a thin lasting head. Aroma is chocolate and a nice dry roastiness. Lightly sweet flavor, but finished more as a dry stout. Caramel and lactose sweetness, with more roast, coffee, and chocolate. Nothing really making this something to remember, but it was well made and nice.
