Mar 4, 2008 Pours an opague black body with some subtle red notes and a sticky brown foam. The aroma is quite chocolaty with some roasted, somewhat charred malts, plums, anise, and a little alcohol. Flavors are more milk chocolate and less bitter choc., with some earthy smoke and nuts coming through in the finish. Some alcohol in the aftertaste but it comes off tasting more like spearmint. Creamy, somewhat oily palate. Really good stuff.

May 30, 2008 650 bottle courtesy of Matthew. Pours a thick blackish-brown with a big tan head. The aroma is rich with coffee, molasses and prunes. The flavor pretty much mirrors the aroma; more coffee, dark chocolate, raisins, dates and roasted malts. The mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth and creamy. The finish is long and dry with lingering biter dark chocolate. Overall: A top notch porter, thanks Matthew.

Sep 12, 2008 Not bad, but also not necessarily "big," although I guess there’s no arguing with 8.7%. Pours black, but a bit thin. Head is medium sized, with medium staying power. Aroma is a bit mercaptan-like, with some cotton candy, sweet vineous, and some grainy aroma. Flavor is dry and roasty with some sweetness. Flavor is predominantly dry and roasty, with some chocolate notes. Flavor really lingers in your mouth; the dryness is very persistent. Mouthfeel is a weird - a bit thin and sticky at the same time, which seems contradictory but is true.
Still, not bad, I’d recommend it. I found this pretty enjoyable. I bought this bottle at Discount Liquor in Milwaukee.
