Nov 4, 2006 Partaken with sneagrams3, thegreenrooster & Beerdrenched - big thanks to Beerdrenched for supplying this rarity. Pours close to black with a good sized rocky dark tan head - quite impressive head for having four years of age on it. The aroma has lots of dark chocolate, cream, rich caramel and some alcohol warmth. Medium body that is somewhat slick with very little carbonation. Taste starts with chocolate malt and a ton of charred roasted malts. The finish has a trace of smoke and a further heaping of dark char that is quite bitter. Excellent brew I’m glad I had the opportunity to experience.

Jun 13, 2006 22oz bottle shared at Sven’s homebrew party, thanks Steven! This poured a deep black with a nice tan head. Magnificent aroma, notes of smoke, dried fruit, and chocolate. I sniffed on this dark beauty for a while anticipating the flavor and it did not disappoint. The smokey notes were present in the flavor as well, more chocolate as well. Roasted malt chewyness to this one. Great full-bodied flavor, wish I had my own bottle to cellar!

May 5, 2006 bottle from the table at DL day - Thanks to whoever brought this now hard to find beer. The aroma was of strong roasted malt with a touch of smoke. The flavor was of heavy roasted malts with an intense hops balance. The finish was dry and in my opinion a bit off. Unfortunately I think this one is past its prime. It’s good, but I bet a year or two ago it was great.

Apr 30, 2006 Thanks to goldtwins for sending this one my way. Shared at the Pre-Tap gathering. Poured jet black with a small off-white head. Aroma is roasty coffee, chocolate, and some butteriness. Flavor is quite smoky with strong notes of coffee and chocolate. Good deep flavor and the smokiness works with it nicely. Though I’m not a huge porter fan, I enjoyed it.
