Dec 28, 2007 Dark brown amberish with suitable head. I am surprised to see this categorized as a porter as I would call it a winter ale/strong ale, though English brown porter could suffice. Aroma of milk chocolate and caramel which plays into the flavor as well. A fabulous winter seasonal with some complexity of malts; caramel, chocolate and maltiness. Perfact hop balance complements the malts with a touch of hop bitterness.

Jun 21, 2008 Pours a transparent dark copper with a nicely-lacing tan head. Aroma of fresh toasty dark caramel malts and molten dark chocolate with a touch of light fruity esters. Body starts with good toasty sweetness and earthy dark caramel chocolate flavors before a slightly drier, biscuity toasty semi-sweet finish. A pretty nice porter.

Nov 14, 2006 Bottle: Pours a fairly dark mahogany color with light head and a bit of lacing. The nose is lightly roasty, clean plum and lots of toasty sesame seed and malts; light hops. The flavor is a bit strong in bitterness and alcohol but it has a nice body to accompany the clean light roast and toastiness. The finish is a bit more mellow than I thought it would be with a nice creamy light latte/mocha note. Nice beer, whatever it is. Thanks to Indiana_Red for providing me with this sample.

Nov 16, 2006 Bottle pours a dark redish brown with sandy colored head and traces of lacing. Aroma is of roasted malts and a slight sour note. Like a Porter. Flavor is a bit astringent, roasted and the ABV is apparent but not overpowering. LIvely carbomation. No stlye listed but either a porter or a dark brown ale. Not bad.
