Dec 10, 2006 Thanks to unclemattie for the bottle. Pours near black with a two-finger head. Leaved fair lacing as it diminishes (quickly). Aroma of molasses, heavily roasted malt and coffee. This is a very good porter! Full body, sticky texture. A moderately sweet, medium finish.

Nov 26, 2006 Black with a tan head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate. Flavor is dominated by coffee and chocolate as well. Rather bitter flavor that lingers throughout the aftertaste. Not bad, definitely the best thing I’ve had from this brewery, but I’ve still had better porters.

Nov 10, 2006 Bought a six pack at Publix #469. Looks like a big glass of chilled expresso. Dark opaque brown with a frothy light tan head. Aroma is bit nutty. Lots of cocoa, and coffee. Nice alcohol rings on the glass. Lots of flavors of tobacco!! Oily coffee flavors to the finish.

Nov 6, 2006 12 oz bottle. Hazy, dirty brown-black color that is a bit oily looking. The aroma has crisp grain mixed with oatmeal, coco, and coffee hints. The flavor could easily be confused with a stout (IMO). Don’t get me wrong, the flavor is lovely, only it’s more like the reminiscence of porter with stout qualities. The grain is there with hints of ash and molasses but right below is the coffee and oatmeal. Interesting and good. Medium body with a semi-dry finish.

Nov 4, 2006 Pours black with a small head. The aroma is nice--chocolate and very light coffee scents. Palate is very full for a porter--more stout-like. Taste is a great balance of chocolate and some bittering hops. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Nov 1, 2006 Updated: Jan 19, 2007Pours almost black with slight ruby shading. Nice 1 inch tan head with good retention and impressive & lasting lacing. Interesting mixture of flavors that start with charred coffee & biting chocolate. Continues to evolve on the palate with flavors of yummy chocolate, roasted malts, & a smokey espresso shot and a bit of tactile oily finish. Medium body with pleasant carbonation. Oatmeal presence adds to the nicely balanced, easy drinking nature of this enjoyable beer. Quite satisfying!

Oct 30, 2006 Black with a nice and frothy tan head that does last. Sweet milk chocolatey aroma with some cocoa and roasted malts. Nice carbonation. More chocolate in the taste. Bitter. Some smoke and thick expresso. Alcohol comes out in the finish that is slightly warming and has a long-bittersweet chocolate finish. Pretty darn good for ABC... easily their best.
