Feb 20, 2008 Sample from a growler at the Super Terrific Stout Tasting on Feb 16th. Two Stouts whose labels feature an axe being wielded. Cool. This beer is blackish-brown with a medium and foamy light brown head that diminishes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists mainly of coffee along with hints of roasted malt and dark chocolate. Medium, smooth body with a tasty chocolate and coffee character, along with light hops and malt. The finish is mild and roasty with a mocha aftertaste. Better than expected, I would try this again.

Apr 13, 2007 Be it a Stout or Porter this is a great winter brew. I personally enjoy a good ’stout’ that does not take over the mouth. Finish is great and I beleive this to be an excellent craft beer - very enjoyable and very good.

Mar 14, 2006 Draft at MBGF. Poured a black color with an average light brown head that diminished slowly. Light roasted malt aroma. Medium to full body. Light sweet roasted malt flavor with a medium finish. Tastes a little soft, but had strong competition this day.

Dec 29, 2005 looks decent, but the head is far too white to intimidate or strike fear into my heart, smells like piss, honestly, like stale urine, not a bad flavor, slightly roasty a little dry on the finish, watery body, I agree with badnews, when i took the first sip I said "this is a porter, remind me not to try their porter", but i do enjoy free peanuts and popcorn

Feb 28, 2005 this is a pretty decent PORTER....not a STOUT, but a PORTER; dark brown appearance with thin medium brown head; aroma of chocolate but was somewhat difficult to pick out much else; flavor is of chocolate also, with a touch of toastiness...thanks to Rob for making another porter

Feb 5, 2005 On tap at Schmohz. Deep chocolate-brown body, thin persistent tan (almost ochre) head. Milk chocolate and toast in the aroma, which was hard to detect when the beer was cold. The operative word for the flavor is "chocolate!"; the emphasis on chocolate made this very porter-like. Besides the chocolate, there was a hint of dark fruit/caramel to go along with toasted notes and earthy hops. A touch chalky and bitter. Medium-bodied, rich, and not too complex. A solid beer, but I’ll have to try this side-by-side with their porter to work out the differences.
