Sep 22, 2009 A decent porter made even better by its $1.45 price tag. The main drawback is it is a tad thin or light in flavor.

Sep 16, 2009 Poured a pitch black color with a good-sized creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and nuts. Excellent flavors of coffee, roasted malts and cocoa. Oily palate but it was a bit too thin. A very solid porter indeed.

Sep 15, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a dark, cola-brown color; thin, light-tan head with patchy lacing; looks good at first pour, then fades. Basic, balanced aroma of cola, lightly roasted malts, and some oily nuttiness; a simple cereal core. Medium mouthfeel: this beer really takes off in the mouth, with a nice show of mineral bitterness, oily nuts / peanut character, and medium-roast malts; lively carbonation, zesty with a solid coffee-tinged acidity on the perimeter, this is a hugely drinkable, satisfying porter once you get past first appearances; really solid rendition with zesty bitterness. Medium finish, ending with light mineral bitterness and roasted, oily peanuts.

Sep 14, 2009 Updated: Sep 27, 2009Bottle from Regionals (brown label? the pic’s is blue). Pours red/black, tan head.
Aroma is quite roasty, with chocolate and plum like fruit. Hop aroma is significant.
Roasty flavour, chocolate/coffee with some pepper, mild bitterness. Hops show quite nicely near the finish, and last on the palate.
Hoppier than your standard porter, quite nice.
