Mar 6, 2006 This is the third porter I’ve had recently, and probably the most well-balanced of the trio. Pours a dark opaque brown with a minimal orange-brown head which quickly recedes to nothing. This beer starts with a bit of pineapple fruitiness, which quickly yields (with the appearance of some tingly carbonation on the palate) to a mild smokey, bitterness which is pleasant, and not over powering. The aroma of this beer is dominantly of coffee. There is a nice smooth finish.

Feb 21, 2006 Bottle courtesy of Immy. Thanks Tim! Poured a thick black with a small brown, creamy head that quickly dissipated. The aroma a fairly faint at first but more distinct as it warmed. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, and some roastiness. The flavor was a sweet chocolate and coffee mix. Medium body with a coffee aftertaste. Very enjoyable Porter.

Feb 4, 2006 Thin off white head on an very dark brown, almost black body. Heavy malts and caramel are evident in the aroma, possibly also some dark fruits and chocolate. Heavy chocolate and coffee tones in the body. Dry ending, yet smooth compared to other porters.

Feb 1, 2006 bottle. This porter is a deep ruby red with a dissipating fizzy head and is quite visibly carbonated. Aroma is sweet malt, some cola, coffee. The flavor packs more chocolate, though it’s semi-thin all around. Also there’s a bit of molasses. I just don’t think this is hearty or roasty enough to be a better than average porter.
