Jul 2, 2005 Bottle. Nose-caramel, cherry, straw. Taste-bitter, grapey, dry, astringent, watered down coffee. Not really bad, but not great.

Jul 1, 2005 Had to search hard but found some coffee notes in the aroma, but surprise a very nice distinct coffee rasted taste with a nice chocolate sensation as it went down the throat. One of the nicest new porters I’ve tried this year

Jun 20, 2005 This is a relaxing porter. (I’m not sure why, but I relaxed whilst I imbibed.) It’s a deep dark brown brew with a very creamy tan head. It has a smokey roasted malt aroma with plenty plenty of coffee and chocolate to back it up. The creamy drink seems to have milk chocolate as an ingredient. It finishes with a somewhat nutty bitterness. Quite nice.

Apr 18, 2005 Updated: May 13, 2005Light mouth feel for a porter, but quite a dark beer overall. Very prominient coffee notes add interest. Good color, aroma.

Mar 28, 2005 nice all around porter, looks fantastic, nice opaque black brown, taste was a strong chocolate malt, could’ve been a little smoother and thicker, probably won’t hesitate to order another one, but not the best porter I’ve ever had

Mar 23, 2005 Pours near black with a garnet halo. Very thin tan head that disappears almost immediately and almost no lacing either. The aroma is pretty nice, smokey and chocolatey. Medium-bodied and fairly effervescent for a Porter. Flavors of malt, nuts and coffee are nicely blended. There is a light smokey character in the flavor too. The finish is short and lightly bitter. Above average overall.

Mar 16, 2005 Very dark brown but fairly thin-looking; light brown head. Aroma slightly roasty with some chocolate and maybe just a hint of vanilla. Flavor is malty and lightly chocolatey with an overly hoppy, overly roasty coffee finish. It tastes like they roasted water. Thin--terribly thin--for a porter. Quite a sub-par porter; right now this beer has 79th percentile overall; how Summit pulled that off, I’ll never know.

Mar 15, 2005 Very dark brown body, nice creamy light-tan head. Lightly roasted malt with some chocolate hints and some wet citrusy hops in the background. Flavor kicks up the intensity a bit. Some hoppy sweet roasted malts at the start. More roasted malts leads into a bitter coffee finish. About average for a porter.
