Apr 30, 2006 Dark brown, but not substantial-looking, in the glass. Aromas are light malteds, some chocolate candy bar, and a few hops shining through. It is a nutty porter, to be sure, but lots of carbonation and a weedy tinge ruin the effect. Neither smooth nor creamy, this beer has lots of texture and no staying power on the palate. Bitter finish.

Apr 22, 2006 Habersham Beverage Warehouse, Savannah, Ga. - 12 oz bottle. Dark brown pour, slight mocha colored head, fades quickly. Artificial aroma, some cotton candy, and some sweet nothingness - artificial butterscotch perhaps. Flavor has some chocolate, some earthy notes, some odd sweetness that is supposed to obviously be hazelnut - but not buying it. Redeems itself with some bitter coffee notes. Thinnish mouthfeel. Had better porters.

Apr 19, 2006 Pours dark ruby brown with light tan head. Aroma has roasted malt and rich chocolate. Sea dog has a tendency to smell good and not taste good, so my hopes aren’t up too high. Mouthfeel is silky smooth and fairly light with mild carbonation. Taste is rich with burnt chocolate and hazelnut. Finish has a prickly bitterness from the hops and carbonation. The burnt taste comes out more and more on the finish the further you get down the glass. There is some nice lacing on the glass. All in all a pretty good porter.

Apr 17, 2006 12 oz. bottle. This may not be a ’great’ beer, but I really enjoy it. It pours a dark brown with a medium off-white head. Body looks a bit thin. Aroma and flavor are heavy on hazelnut with some hoppy bitterness. Body tastes more robust than it looks. Quite drinkable.

Apr 17, 2006 How this is rated so highly is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Knew something was awry by my first sniff. Not my idea of a porter, nor my idea of a good beer. Tastes like scorched hazelnuts to me.

Mar 31, 2006 [tap @ Strangebrew 3/31/06] Pours a near black color, with a thin head. Aroma is mostly coffee, slight malts. Flavors are again, mostly roasted coffee and malts- very little hazelnut character to speak of. Not quite what I expected.
