| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 12, 2007 This deep dark color has the coffee and malt aromas that turn into a deep roasted coffee flavor on the mouthfeel. Notes of dark chocolate are more pronoumnced in the finish. This porter almost drinks like a stout! Dogbrick (2869), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 9, 2007 Sample at Firewaters in Atlantic City. Dark brown color with a medium light tan head and streaks of lacing. Coffee, hops and a touch of chocolate in the nose. Rich body with a well-balanced array of flavors from bitter coffee and hops to roasted malt and chocolate. The finish is dry with a roasted coffee flavor and lingering hops. Pretty good all around. hopson (595), Williamsville, New York, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 6, 2007 I know its rated high and everything, but this did nothing for me. No complexity at all, just straightforward, toasted grains. There is some light smoke in the aroma, and flavor has just a little coffee, grains, and a dry, chalky finish. Not as thick as I would like, but a nice, black appearance. Head fades quickly. BDR (2167), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 5, 2007 Light coffee on the nose. Dark brown/black body with lots of quickly faiding brown head. A solid porter with coffee and faint chocolate hints. Had a dry smokey finish with a chalky aftertaste that would prevent me from drinking this otherwise solid beer again. sneagrams3 (1759), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 5, 2007 12oz bottle. Opaque and brown. Spotty beige head. Anise and cocoa with a nice roasted nose. Brownie aroams. Rather full bodied. Roasty malts with rich chocolate and toffee flavors. Sticky finish with medium dryness. Good coffee note. Good sticky character. Good dose of hops found lingering amongst the bitter and slight alcohol middle. Well done. Very good drinking. Skyview (4064), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 5, 2007 Thanks to Brewfiend for sharing this one. Picked up single bottle at The Coffee Grounds in Eau Claire, WI. Pours a dark opaque brown brew with a light tan head. Aroma is heavy malt, chocolate, some coffee, nuts, cookie dough. Taste is a little metalic, slight carbonation, and a little bitter aftertaste. The cocoa aftertaste sticks around a while after the finish. estoppel (1028), Buffalo, New York, USA
