Jan 22, 2007 On tap. Something I could drink quite often. The flavor was of chocolate with a biscuity base. Ephemeral wisp of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. The color was of a vaguely translucent dark brown with a thick light brown head. Good lacing. I had one with an entree of Alaskan silver salmon in a red pepper sauce, potatoes, and butternut squash, as well as with clam chowder. I had another after dinner, accompanied by Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse. A great ale with a great meal.

Dec 30, 2006 Bottle. Pours a blackish brown that admits just a little light. Fading tan head. Aroma of nutty chocolate. Medium to light body with moderate carbonation. The taste is on the refreshing end of the porter spectrum, with a light chocolate and coffee influence leading to a dry finish. Nice balance.

A deep dark brown nectar made by the gods. This was a grea Porter. Had a thick drinking taste with a deep roasty aroma and the flavor was awesome. I loved the choclotae flavors and the finish was just awesome. I loved this porter. One of the best.

Nov 24, 2006 Bomber. Pours a dark ebony, but not opaque. Thick tannish head of suds and mousse. Nose of chocolate and, alas, must. Not much mustiness, but it’s there. There’s a bit of dust in there, too. Mild attack; body on the high side of medium and light carb, but pronounced flavors: chalk, tin, sour, astringent, chocolate. In that order. Total mess. Really too bad. Seems like more of a QC problem than a recipe problem; there’s a modestly interesting porter in here somewhere; the chocolate and roast would do well if they got to show through. I can feel the sides of my jaw puckering on what’s left between my cheek and gum, though. I’m going to go take some vitamins.

Sep 27, 2006 Black with a decent head. Good amount of roasted malt and chocolate in the nose. Taste doesn’t match the aroma. The roasted malts never show up and it’s just smooth with a bit of chocolate and bubbles. No substance....almost tastes like a bad cola. I’m really dissapointed with this one. Damn.
