humulus (337), Salem, Missouri, USA Mar 1, 2005 Pours on the light side with large bubbles that dissipate quickly. Aroma of toffee and minimal soy. Flavor is bitterish with light coffee and an unripe grape element. The palate is clean and easy. Overall, a very drinkable and unassuming porter.
decaturstevo (1398), decatur, Tennessee, USA Dec 29, 2008 Chocolate from the bottle not much from the glass on the nose. Light brown by porter standards. Light chocolate no coffee to speak of a bit of a sour on the finish. A little thin and watery. A decent bitter but lacking in body, flavor, and complexity. A very average porter. cbeers21 (480), Miami, Florida, USA Nov 28, 2008 Tap @ brewery. Good looking pour with decent mocha head. Nice toasty aromas, dusty pine hops and burnt coffee highlight the aroma. Nice chewy roasted malty body with light caramel and vanilla touches. Fairly well constructed and a tasty brew overall, not outsanding for the style, but solid all around. PattyBoy (302), North Liberty, Iowa, USA Nov 1, 2008 Pours dark brown, thin head.

Aroma is roasty, coffee, some caramel, faint nutty. Taste is very roasty, solid coffee, with light chocolate. Light-medium body.
