Feb 23, 2005 I figured a buck and a half for one bottle isnt that bad if its all going down the tubes, so here goes. Appearance is standard black but with a thinner and whiter head. Aroma is not that amazing, but has some notes of roasted goodness behind its vinegar tingle. The flavor is actually better than expected. It has a pretty thin taste to it, making it easy going. It does give off a slight bit of roasted coffee, but very little. Double the ingrediants of this and we might have something worth revisiting.

Aug 6, 2004 12.20.02 bottle (old notes). Pours a medium brown with thin head. Watery and light, not strong flavors, not much roast. Hints of cocoa. Could be more bitter at end.

Nov 18, 2003 Good dark color beer with a nice head. Somewhat weak and light for a porter. Decent flavor. watery texture. Somewhat lacking in finish. An okay beer. A sad porter.

Feb 20, 2003 Nice dark color but for a porter it is light. The flavor isn't bad. It has a slight coffee and chocolate flavor, but nothing big. But it has an almost watery finish. Lacks many qualities of a good porter. This would probably be a good dark beer for beginners. It doesn't leave a very big impression, though.

Sep 14, 2002 This brew is horrible. Well maybe not that bad... but stay away if you can. The color is that of a good brown ale, and the taste is light and watery.

Jul 23, 2002 Rather remiscent of Blackhook Porter, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Rather light in body and average alcohol content. Good flavor, though, typical roasty porter malt with some lightly bitter hops. Body needs some work, though, lacking complexity and depth in a big way, and lending a light mouthfeel, which is great in some beers but not a porter.
