Nov 26, 2005 Draft at brewpub. Pours a dark brown with medium brown head. Good roasted malt aroma. Medium body. Full roasted malt and coffee flavor with a moderate finish. Tasted two years ago and this brew is much better.

Dec 20, 2003 TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 119. This draft brew was sampled at the brewery in Sarasota Florida. This brew poured a medium sized head of light brown colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a semi-opaque dark brown colored body with no visible carbonation. It had a nice brown malt aroma with coffee notes and a slightly tingly yet smooth mouthfeel. The flavor was a nice brown malt one with mild coffee. Once again, I find a brew that tastes nice, but falls short of having enough of that nice tasting flavor to be a great brew.

Dec 26, 2003 Draft at Sarasota Brewing Co. in Sarasota, FL. This beer's appearance was an average sized tan head with fine-medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. The body was mostly opaque and uncarbonated with a dark brown hue. The nose was that of coffee and chocolate notes. The flavor tasted of coffee and the mouthfeel was smooth. This was a medium-full bodied Porter with good lacing.

Mar 25, 2006 On tap at the brewpub in Sarasota. My choice for a pint from the sampler. Dark brown fading to black pour with nice thick khaki colored head. Earthy aroma with hints of coffee and cocoa. Flavor has some fresh earthy accents to it with some potting soil, coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel is thickish and slightly oily. Very good brewpub porter.
