Dec 4, 2008 pours a near black with a tinge of dark ruby. Head is fairly small, carbonation evident. Aroma has definite sweetness but also roasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is also sweet and roasty, but there is more coffee evident. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth- not thick, but certainly not watery. Not particularly complex, but quite a good beer.

Nov 28, 2008 Pours dark mahogany with hints of ruby coming through the edges. The head dissipates quickly but stays as a cap throughout with the strong carbonation bubbling up.
The aroma is fairly sweet with chocolate and sweet malts but with a healthy dose of roasted character
The taste is a mixture of dark roasted malts and sweet chocolate and some coffee as well. Maybe a bit of smoke as well.
This mouthfeel is creamy but with generous carbonation that tingles the palate in the finish.
This is an extremely drinkable porter if not the most complex and tasty. A very good beer.

Nov 27, 2008 Pours a deep deep brown color with a nice tan head that reduces to a thin layer after a minute or two.
Smells of roasted malts with a hint of cocoa
Initially has a slight bitter taste, but ends on a sweet note.
Extremely drinkable.

Nov 26, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Nothing great here. Just a roasty porter. That’s all it has to offer. Pleasant to drink, but it tastes too similar to my bad homebrew porter, which might not even be a porter.

Nov 2, 2008 Dark and bitter. Strong aftertaste lingers in the mouth. Still smooth enough and drinkable for this style. Thumbs up.
