Oct 13, 2009 What a rich aroma. Smoky, really smoky aroma. Hmm, the flavor almost has a nut brown character to it; fairly malty. Pretty good.

Oct 10, 2009 Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours dark brown/black with a decent light tan head. Aromas of dark roast malt with coffee and chocolate. Rather full bodied with frothy carbonation. Flavor is coffee, dark roast/burnt malt and maybe a little chcoolate. The finish is slightly sweet. But the dark elements balance that. Not sure why this is perceived as thin by so many. Maybe cause it thins as the carbonation leaves?

Oct 9, 2009 33 cl bottle, Winnipeg, MB, Canada via Fargo. Almost opaque deep black/ruby colour. Roasted malt with an almost sweet berry background. Very nice sweet chocolate flavor with coco on the finish. A bit too sweet for me but nice for something produced on this scale.

Oct 2, 2009 The aroma is burnt and toasty with cream, coffee, and a hint of chocolate. The appearance is dark brown with a tan head. The flavor is burnt and bitter with all the elements from the aroma but the astringency is unforgivable. The palate is average to thin. Overall not a porter I want again.

Sep 30, 2009 Dark mahogany with big, foamy tan head / Toasty nose of roast barley, cigar box, and chocolate / Light to medium body, watery, with good balance and finish / Flavors of roast barley, unsweetened chocolate, dark roast coffee / The weak body is a major flaw, but corrected this would be a fine porter.
