Bottle pours deep brown with a full creamy head. The nose is very nice, with chocolate, malt breadiness and a hint of coffee. The flavor is just as the nose in complexity and enjoyability. Slight creamy on the palate as well, with a subtle bitterness in the finish.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle, Ale Cellar, Darlinton. Poured a black colour with a fair sized tan head. Aroma was roasted malts, chocolate and bubblegum. Flavour had more of the same with burnt malt coffee and raisin notes which linger into a slightly bitter finish. Enjoyed this

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle from Papago. It’s not that I didn’t like this beer, it’s just that this is kind of what I expect from a porter. At room temperature, a disappearing light tan head and black body. Roasty and charcoaled with light milk chocolate. A great finish too.

Aug 4, 2008 While this isnt as style defining as thier pale ale is, this is very very good. WAY better than the porter. Smooth and roasted, this goes down very easy considoring the size.

Aug 3, 2008 (Bottle). Bitter chocolate aroma. Black pour with a large tan head. Medium body, bittersweet malt flavor, pleasant finish. Satisfying, although not particularly complex.

Jul 19, 2008 12 oz bottle. The aroma was a definite roasty chocolate. Had some coffee notes as well. The appearance was dark and smooth, but it wasn’t as inviting as some stouts...pretty average looking. The flavor was really traditional with the chocolate, malt, and pronounced roast, but it really was too bitter. The palate was light and kinda creamy with a little watered down feel. Overall it was just average, but way too bitter for a watery stout.
