bottle-man, this is bad-lots of grainy nasty notes on the nose with a bit too much honey on this one. flavors are cardboardy chocolate notes with a touch of honey. terrible artificial notes all over this one. dry hops? WHERE? this thing sux and has nothing to offer. fizzy palate and terrible musty/cardboard finish. just plain bad.

Oct 6, 2008 12 oz bottle from mix pack. Caramel with some roastyness and slight chocolate aroma. Clear deep amber brown with small fine white head. Roasted malt with some honey and caramel, and touch of chocolate. Subdued hop notes. Touch metallic. Medium light body with fairly dry chocolate finish and touch of hop bitterness.

Oct 5, 2008 12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Dark auburn with ruby hues. Thick tan head, 2 fingers tall, great retention and lots of creamy lacing. Aromas of chocolate, brown sugar, and honey burst forth, with only a little roastiness. Flavor is roasty throughout with honey undertones and a dry finish. Body is rather thin, and that’s the only real flaw here. Carbonation is good and drinkability is excellent. Almost a great porter.

Oct 2, 2008 small beige head, dark blackish colour. Honey and coffee in the nose there is no noticable roasted aroma. honey in the flavour some hints of coffe. it is roasted too lightly for my taste and isn’t terribly interesting, but not bad.
