Jan 19, 2009 12oz bottle. A classic American Porter, I’ve had it dozens of times and hold it in high regard. Thick brown-black color. Foamy dissipating head. Smooth chocolate roasty malts. Sugary and sweet, but balances out well with the minimal hops. A classic.

Jan 17, 2009 Almost black with tiny head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chosolate and dark fruit and spices. Flavour is mainly sweet with some bitterness in finish. Very powerful compared to alcohol%

Jan 16, 2009 As a porter, I really can’t complain with this one. Nice roasty smell, pours black with biscuit head. Flavor is roasty malts, sugar (but not cloyingly sugary) and a touch of smoke. Ends on the classic Porter bitter/roasty note that displays more carbon from the roasting than from the hop.

Jan 10, 2009 Powder blue bottle; cannot decipher the date. World class head! Smells kind of hoppy for a porter, and tastes along those lines as well. Not a lot of roasted malts. With my eyes closed I might not guess the style. Body is a bit light also, but still a pretty good beer.

Jan 8, 2009 <i>Bottle.</i> Pours a dark reddish brown with a small off-white/greyish head. Aroma has remote hop notes in the vicinity of the glass. Sweet, roasted malts in the glass itself with creamy notes which develops as it warms. Bread/rye notes as it warms further. Remote metallic notes. Sweetish, roasted flavour with metallic notes. Slightly watery finish with a mild bitterness. Lingering sweet, roasted malt notes and a faint apple note. Feels a bit ’mild’, but this makes it quite drinkable. <i>08-01-09.</i>
