Jun 20, 2008 Pours dark brown with slight amber hue and a tan head. Coffee and chocolate malts dominate for an expected mocha aroma. The flavor is a great hazelnut coffee blend with a touch of milk and chocolate. Great porter, with a great mocha flavor.

Jun 19, 2008 A slightly musty, vegetable aroma. major characters are nuts (hazel, almond) and milk chocolate . Some floral hops notes.
Mellow Dark malts, well balance. Smokiness mellows as you drink more. The chocolate tastes more bitter + dark than in the nose, with a sweeter chocolate taste developing in the finish.
Minor coffee flavor, It really does taste like a mocha!! The raw nuttiness is my favorite part of the flavor.
Bomb creamy texture, somewhat thin.
Nice dry finish that admirably completes the flavor cycle of this treat of a porter

Jun 17, 2008 Pretty light and with a hint of smoke. Okay, but I really just fiend for a quality stout when I drink this kind of beer.

Jun 17, 2008 Clear hoppiness comes through in the aroma, slight hints of chocolate. Pours dark small off-white head. Very delicious taste. The hops mix perfectly with the chocolate flavor. The chocolate leaves a delicious aftertaste too. Dunno if I’d pick this up regularly, but it’s definitely worth a few drinks.

Jun 15, 2008 rating #200!!! pours deep brown with fizzy white head, minimal lacing. aroma is malty, slight coffee. tastes chocolate, coffee, maybe a little date in the end. a bit fizzy and light bodied for a porter in my opinion.

Jun 12, 2008 Almost black,with a 1 inch tan head that’s frothy. Aroma of chocoalte malts. Tastes like watery, bitter, dark roasted malt with a hint of cocoa. Clean palate, but a little bitter for this style. Good porter texture, thin, and flavorful. Finish is mild and more palatable.
