Poured a very dark brown almost black color with a tall creamy light brown head. The head went down to just a film in just a few minutes, but it did leave some nice lacing.There was a strong aroma of dark chocolate and espresso and they were carried through to the flavor as well. A bit of smokiness was also in the flavor and a mild bitterness as well. The finish was slightly dry with the bitterness lingering on.

Dec 14, 2009 Clear, muddy color with a tan head. Toasted malty aroma with lots of coffee. Not really getting a true mocha scent, mostly just coffee. Taste has a high bitterness and very low sweetness. I would have preferred the opposite. Too dry in my opinion.

Dec 10, 2009 Bottle. Poured black with a chunky beige head. Left some lacing in my glass. Has a toasty, chocolate, slightly nutty aroma with a noticeable coffee presence. Flavor is roasted malt, a little bitter chocolate, a moderate amount of coffee, and a lingering bitter finish. Has a smooth feel, though it turns a little watery feeling at the finish. Gets better as it warms, I adjusted my rating up slightly after sipping this a while.

Dec 3, 2009 I was very pleased with this beer. I’m not a huge fan of coffee on its own, but this beer doesn’t over do it. Pours get black with a nice tan head. Aroma of coffee (obviously) chocolate. Strong roasted malts and a hoppy kick. I think the hops are little too strong, but as it warms up you don’t notice it as much. Still, I wish they had turned down the hops a bit. Could have been a stout for all that.

Dec 1, 2009 Draft at Dewey’s in Clifton. Pours a very dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma wasn’t particularly strong, maybe this was a bit too cold, but what was there was nice: mocha, chocolate, nuts, roasted malts, and vanilla. The flavor was the same, but stronger and with notes of hops and cream. Could have been smoother, as the carbonation had quite a bite. Light-medium bodied. Roasty finish. Good porter.
