Dec 10, 2007 dark brown to the light looks black without the bulb. less than 1 inch dirty white head disappeared quickly. ground coffee and black bread aroma. very tasty. theres texture to the sip and just as fresh roasted coffee and raw chocolate have bitter sides, so does this beer. the coffee notes are subtle and refreshing.

Dec 6, 2007 Nutty dark roasted barly aroma. Appearance is a bit weak as the color is a bit light. Flavor of coffee, burnt toffee, and a bit of nut. Overall flavor is straight forward and balanced. Has a real nice mouthfeel, almost chewy (quite the supprise considering how light this porter is). Overall, worth having again. I especially enjoyed the nutty quality of this porter.

Dec 5, 2007 Aroma: formidable, dried fruit... smoky (game), fresh hops... dried red berries. Hard to place, sourish cocoa...
Flavour: good, nutty, ancient, burnt... not bad at all. Sweet, perhaps not as full-bodied as one would expect. Nutty, sourish-sweet aftertaste. Bitter-hops.
Palate: watery, but not bad at all.
Appearance: very dark reddish brown, clear. Brownish head w/ lacings.

Dec 3, 2007 Dark brown, a hint of gold rims the ede when transilluminated. Dense almond head, compact, and longlasting. Chocolate, cream, espresso and clay are all in the nose. Velvety smooth mouthfeel, chocolatey and malty, some coffee roast, some faint stewed fruits, and a clay-like earthinesss in the finish. Soft and silky, subtle and perfectly put together. Fantastic!

Dec 3, 2007 Sample at WLV. Dark brown to black opaque color with small light tan head. Not much going on in the aroma, sort of tired roast malt. Flavor was grainy and mild roast with only the slightest hint of smoke up front. Thin body but well carbonated. A pretty boring porter.

Nov 30, 2007 This is an awfully good porter by a brewery known more for hoppy IPAs, PAs, and ESBs. Dark and rich, with bitter chocolate and caramel.

Nov 28, 2007 Though not my favorite style of beer, Sierra Nevada comes through once again with a stellar product. Dark and rich.

Nov 27, 2007 Pours a thin dark brown. Caramel, chocolate on the nose. More chocolate, coffee and caramel in the taste. Roasted malts are certainly present. Thin mouthfeel, average carbonation. A solid porter, better than I expected.
