Mar 15, 2008 12 oz. into a pint glass. It appears a healthy delicious black with a soft, foamy, light tan head. It has basic dark porter aromas, but with a nice hint of vanilla. The palate is somewhat watery, but overall the beer leaves a rich and smokey impression on your palate. The flavor seemed to get better as I drank it; it exhibited strong coffee and burnt malt flavors with the nose and finished with subtle but robust vanilla and caramel flavors. This beer, though not worth the 11 dollars I payed for the 6 pack, is worth trying at some point, especially if you can find it on tap.

Mar 14, 2008 Pours a dark black with a thin soapy head. Aroma is musty with some funky sweet chocolate. Taste is smooth and carbonated, some chocolate, and some dry roasted coffee grounds. A bit too much cardboard in the taste.

Mar 5, 2008 Pours dark brown with garnet highlights and a pitted tan head. On the nose are milk chocolate, light coffee, cream and sweet roasted malt. Light to medium-bodied and thin with a creamy mouthfeel and a lightly bitter finish. Bittersweet chocolate, coffee and cream (a mild lactose note) transition to a roasted and controlled bitter hop finish. This is a tasty and quaffable porter that is fairly hoppy, for the style, but remains well balanced throughout.
