Oct 20, 2007 Good smell. Chocolate roast flavor. Just a little tart for my Porter liking. This one tasted better as it went from a slight chill to room temp.

Oct 13, 2007 bottle from...you guessed it...ucusty. pours very dark brown with a thin tan head that disappears quickly back into the glass. aromas of wood, mild coffee and dark roasted malts. flavor is also woody with a little bit of coffee and a strange mild herbal bitterness that reminds me of earwax. (not burnt, not hops but something????)thin bodied with high carbonation. no palate development and it doesn’t improve when warm...

Oct 11, 2007 Poured very dark with not too much head and fades fast. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and some coffee. Taste a little bitter back but may be the espresso taste not the hops. Nice body and smooth, easy to drink.

Sep 9, 2007 Rich chocolate flavor, some bitterness.. not to bad though. Overall decent, would most likely buy this one again.

Sep 3, 2007 Fairly strong aroma of chocolate malts suggests real promise, but the body on this one - though fine looking, with mild lacing - is too thin to sustain the style. A bit astringent too, taking away from the smoothness. Solid and drinkable, but nothing I’d necessarily seek again.
