Dec 21, 2007 Updated: Dec 23, 2007Pours a nice deep brown nearly black color. Deep roasted malt flavor. Some coffee taste in the finish. The hops aren’t very noticable but balance it out nicely.

Dec 21, 2007 Nice and roasted porter. Nothing complex here, but there is a suppleness to the flavors. Good amount of hops here to balance the malts.

Dec 18, 2007 Quickly becoming a classic American-made porter, creamy with a malty flavor, but not too malty!

Dec 16, 2007 Tremendous beer. Although its like comparing apples and oranges I found this to be vastly superior to the more common pale ale. Bottle, pours a dark typical porter color with medium head. Aroma is of chocolate but not as strong as I would have expected. However the flavor and palate are marvelous. Full bodied and just fills your mouth and the flavor is a very good chocolate/coffee mix. One of the best american beers I have had the pleasure of drinking in a while.

Dec 16, 2007 Tasted 15/12/2007. 12oz bottle from Regional Wines and Spirits. Sipped on this during the Bob Dylan doco ’No Direction Home’. No notes but the memory is still fresh. Excellent balance of chocolate, a little ash and delicious orangey hops. Liquified crust of a yummy orange chocolate cake. Nice lingering bitterness, with a lovely hop flavour in tow. Looks good, tastes good. The day after drinking this I received the ultimate compliment, in having my own American-style Stout compared to Sierra Nevada Porter. As tenuous as the comparison may have been, I was pretty chuffed. Drink this beer, if you find it.

Dec 13, 2007 A black beer with a one finger grayish white head. Well balanced and modest aroma. LIghtly roasted barley, chocolate, and molasses. Slight hint of hops. Medium bodied with a high drinkability for a porter. Creamy texture in the mouth with a clean finish.
