Jun 22, 2004 On tap at Brewtopia 2004...
Sparkling clear, copper ale with a small, creamy, beige head. Chocolate, vanilla and coffee in the aroma. Well-balanced, roasted flavor which pretty much matches the nose, but is a bit thin and lifeless. Medium-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish with a blast of cocoa at the very end.

May 20, 2004 Dark color with roasted barley aroma and flavors of caramel and mellow coffee. A bit mellow for my liking, but with the college crowd that comes here, not need to make anything too big, I suppose.

Apr 19, 2004 kind of light on the palate for a porter. still had some rich roasted notes to it with an almost smokey taste at the end. could have used a nice head on its dark body.

Apr 15, 2004 Updated: May 19, 2005Tap at the brewery. Dark brown, clear, tan head. Nice roasty aroma. Big malty flavors that linger. Real nice and chewy. Big improvement and I would recomend this one for sure.
Tap at the brewpub. Close but no cigar. Pours dark brown with no head. Aroma fist strikes you as cigarette ashes, Underneath is some pleasant roastyness, but it is hard to get passes the cigarettes. The flavor is similar. That ash-tray flavor is up front, followed by carmel-roasty-malty flavor that is halfway decent. I want some head! 5-3-6-4-12

Jan 24, 2004 It looks like a nice porter with tiny bubbles on the frothy head. It smells wonderful - brown sugar and molasses and even ginger. It just tastes like creamy chocolate milk. The carbonation becomes thin in the finish. Roasty and semi-sweet, like a good chocolate should be. Mmmm...A great porter indeed.
