Nov 12, 2006 12oz bottle. Black center with thin brown edges; fluffy, light tan head: good retention and lacing. Brown sugar and dried fruits in the nose (reminiscent of a doppelbock), with some roasted malt character. Light-to-medium mouthfeel; lively carbonation up-front: showing plenty of milk chocolate, marshmallow, and roasted malts. Medium finish shows charred malts and dark chocolate. Surprisingly good from a brewery I’ve never heard of before.

Oct 29, 2006 (bottle 12 oz) Black body with light brown, head. Despite seeming a little "fizzy" the head last and their is medium lacing in the glass. Aroma is malty with a hint of fruit, but not a strong aroma. Flavor up front is slightly sweet dark chocolate. It turns more to coffee and malt on the back, finishing dry and with only a mild hop bitterness. Full bodied. I might describe this as a "mild" porter - but that happens to be the kind of porter I like, so I thought it was very good.

Oct 20, 2006 Bottle. A very sweet caramel and nutty aroma. Dark opaque brown color with next to no head. Smoky creamy chocolate malt flavor - nice and strong with an ashy/astringent finish that is a bit rough. A tad bit harsher than many porters.
