Jul 13, 2004 pours a gorgeous dark brown that glows a deep ruby red when held up to the light. head is light tan, well retained, and laces well. aroma is mostly chocolate/roast, with very nice soft earthy hoppiness underneath. flavor of bitter chocolate up front, finishing dry. great creamy mouthfeel-not too heavy. very easy to drink. a great session porter. a terribly under-rated beer.

Jul 2, 2004 12 oz bottle. Near black, with hints of garnet...everlasting whitish-gray head. Initial roastiness in the aroma quickly matched by agressive sweet chocolate, anise and grapes. Sweet and sticky on the tongue at first, fairly bitter, roasty and acidic to finish...perhaps a bit too acidic for me. Nice, but hardly essential for porter-files.

Jun 24, 2004 Black with a strong malty aroma. Has a nice roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, and nut flavors with a sweet finish. Feels good in the mouth and going down the hatch. This a good beer to consume in large quantities.

May 27, 2004 Dark beer with ruby hints around the edge of my chalice. Cocoa powder nose with a thin, whispy tan head. The flavor is sweet malts with a faint roasted coffee taste and a little cocoa in the finish. Very subtle hop bitterness. It seemed a little thin to me, but then the description admits that. Very easy to drink. Thanks to slikwily for the bottle.
