Nov 10, 2007 pours an opaque with a slight reddish hue, small khaki head that goes away quite rapidly, not much on the lacing.
smell is cocoa, coffee, toasted malts almost a burnt smell to it.
taste is bitter, bakers chocolate, dry mouth-feel, smooth, strong coffee in the background, actually quite nice of a brew, i like the bitterness that normally is not in a porter.

Nov 10, 2007 Black brown color with a creamy head. Hop and chocolate malt aroma, same for the flavor. I don’t think I could ask for much more.

Nov 7, 2007 12 oz. bottle with a 3206 date code ( late July 2003 ).
Pours opaque black with a slight tan head. Smells of chocolate malts and toasted grains. Medium bodied with a super smooth mouthfeel. Taste is of dark chocolates, toasted grains, and coffee. Finishes with a dark roasted malt bitterness.
Another top notch brew from Chico. Sept 2004

Nov 4, 2007 Outstanding porter. Dark earthy tones to it with a strong roasted taste that sticks in your mouth. Slight hops at the end. I really like the chocolate notes. I wouldn’t change this one. Damn good and easy to find in most areas

Nov 2, 2007 Pours a dark creamy deep brown/black with little head and little retention. It has a nice malty smell with roasted elements and a nice hoppy piney element. It was a medium, slightly thin, in body but had a great flavor profile of chocolate, roasted nuts, and creamy nuts. It was also slightly more hoppy and bitter on the backend which I appreciated. Very drinkable

Oct 30, 2007 Bottle. Poured black with a small tan head, slight roasted coffee taste, maybe burnt malt, but not prevalent. Very smooth finish. Not at all like a traditional porter, but Sierra Nevada has usually been very hopped beers, and this follows the style.

Oct 30, 2007 A roasty and hoppy aroma. Almost black in color with a tan head. Flavor is dry and roasty with notes of black coffee. Finish is rather hoppy with a mild bitter citrus and herbal feel. Definitley way more hoppy than I would expect from a porter, but it’s their take on the stye. It has a nice dry finish in terms of both roasted malts and hops. Pretty good stuff nonetheless.
