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.

Jan 26, 2006 From the Jan 06 Indy gathering. The beer is a black pur with a nice tan head. The aroma has roasted and chocolate malts and gives a sense that a full beer is comming. There is a sweet chocolate flavor with additional coffee and roasted malts. Nice assembly of malts. It’s smooth and creamy, but a little thinner than I expected.

Jan 23, 2006 Pours a light black almost dark brown or a burnt brown and leaves a sticky lace on the glass. The aroma is espresso, soft cinnamon, nutmeg. The taste on the palate is some what watery which is how the mouth feel is suppose to be, more of a smooth sipping stout. The body gives you a quick taste of coffee followed by some astringent smokey hop bitterness but quickly dissapates leaving you somewhat waiting for more flavor.

Dec 30, 2005 On tap at the brewpub:
Burnt toast and roasted malt flavor and bitterness...An important caramel pat pushes forth the oily, slick body...Again for Portsmouth Brewery, this isn’t much to style, but a good pint nonetheless...Isn’t that what we want anyway?...
