Dec 7, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of Soonah. Pours a dark brown/black with a 1/2" beige head. Aroma is chocolate malt with a touch of ash. Also, hints of nuts and fruit. Moderate body with a full, creamy texture. Flavor is a nice blend of chocolate, nuts, dark fruits and a bit of smoke. Very nice well crafted porter.

Nov 28, 2009 This porter isn’t too good. A decent aroma but the flavor is strained. A bit smoky but also a bit too alcoholic. Not that great.

Nov 9, 2009 Bottle: Nice medium black with a retentive tan head. The nose is light, but what’s there is dark and roasty with some coffee and dark chocolate notes, some astringency, which is unusual for a porter, and a nice rich fruity note. I’m surprised this doesn’t have any roasted barley or black patent for how it tastes. Minerally mouthfeel with some additional dark chocolate notes. On the stouter side of porter, with a nice body and balanced tail. Good!

Nov 7, 2009 Dark brown red pour. Smells of sweet chocolate and coffee kick. Roasted notes abound. Tastes of roasted malts and coffee ground. Finishes with easy thoughts. Not bad.

Oct 30, 2009 Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Opaque and looks almost black, but is really a very dark reddish-brown. Tan head fades to a thin layer with slight lacing.
Aroma of slightly sweet malts with chocolate and coffee undertones. Not much roasted malt or hop presence in the smell. Pretty weak for a Porter.
Semi-sweet chocolate with a light roast and coffee character. Very little bitterness. Roasted malts became more prominent at the end and as the beer warmed.
Very smooth for a regular Porter. Low to moderate carbonation, medium body, ever so slightly warming.
Easy drinking Porter with a nice smoothness and chocolate malt backbone.
