Mar 2, 2008 2008 edition. From a1 pt. 6 fl. oz (US) Big Bottle series. Pours a very dark brown with a brown, frothy head. Looks like a cream stout. Decent brown lacing. Aroma of cocoa and raisins. Very creamy and bold flavor, again of cocoa and raisins with an emphasis on the latter. A slightly dry finish. Leaves a little aftertaste. I like my porters on the smoked side and there is no smoked flavor here, which is why my rating is a tad lower than the curret average. Overall, a strong brew with a little punch to it.

Aug 15, 2009 Large bottle. One of the finest porters I have tasted. Dark black pour with a big head and lacing. In addition to the up front chocolate and espresso flavors there is also a spicy licorice thing going on underneath.

Oct 11, 2009 Roasted punch everywhere. This beer is perhaps the best example of an American-made strong porter. Smuttynose, the most underrated craft brewer on the east coast.

Dec 5, 2008 This poured black in color with a moderate brown head that dissipated away. The nose was filled with aromas of dark chocolate, plum, raisin, coffee and some hazelnut. In the mouth it is medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated with great mouthfeel. There is lots of carbonation keeping this well-balanced and really enjoyable.
