Oct 10, 2004 (12 oz bottle, obtained in trade with jasonp, thanks Jason!) Sweet and malty nose doesn’t hint of the roasty flavor that is to come; The beer starts out quite malty and moderately sweet, but the long-lasting finish is much more roasty and bitter; Medium bodied, probably near average for a porter, definitely not a thick, chewy porter; Black in color except at the very edges where it’s a ruddy brown; The tan head is somewhat small on the pour, but is able to maintain a full, thin layer, though little lace is left on the glass; Competent, well-made porter that may not set the world on fire, but is perfectly enjoyable

Sep 20, 2004 Appearance: dark brown color, with reddish edges, and a thick, solid, brownish head that lasts and lasts.
Aroma: rich and chocolatey, a little coffeeish, beautiful, dark, roasty, perfect.
Taste: smooth, but slightly bittersweet on the tongue. Ably fits the perfect flavor profile for a porter, bitter, rich , tasty, full-bodied, marvelous mouthfeel, never-ending finish, this is truly a porter done right!

Sep 13, 2004 Bottle pours almost black, dark plum hues on the edges, small tannish foamy head, with light lacing. Dark chocolate, unsweetened and dry, on the nose. Slightly sweet up front, heavilly roasted malts, chocolate malts, finishes dry, with a slightly sweet fruity flavor. Good body, medium mouthfeel. A bit better than your average Porter. Definitely unique!
