Dec 23, 2008 Draught: Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, and light fruity hops. Poured very dark brown in color with a small to medium-sized, creamy, thick, tan head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor was lightly sweet. Tastes of roasted malts, light chocolate, and cocoa. Medium body. Think, chalky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Roasted malt and alcohol finish is chalky. A very simple Porter.

Dec 14, 2008 suprisingly sessionable even if not fully challenging. nose of very light roast and some adjunct like sweetness. color is dark with translucent edges. thin white head. flavor of some oats and other sweetness, no outright chocolate or coffee though they are made reference to. not nearly as bad as i thought it would be, almost underrated.

Dec 14, 2008 On tap Groveland Tap St Paul MN. Deep brown/black reddish pour. Minimal head, leaves a good amount of lacing in the glass. Flavor is roasted malt, a bit of bitter and milk chocolate, and Latin American coffee. Finish is dry and toffee-ish. Medium rare bodied. Overall a solid easy drinking session porter.

Nov 27, 2008 Pours dark brown with a 1 finger burnt orange head that fades somewhat quickly to a thin layer then has great retention and leaves a little slippery lacing. Aroma is dominated by roast, coffee, and chocolate malts with a little caramel and praline to pull together some sweetness. Tons of roast and toast in the flavor, a little milk chocolate truffle filled with hazelnut coffee, and toasty, grainy malt. Finish is pretty simple, slighly metallic and bitter hops with alot of roast and nuttiness.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours dark brown, tan head. Lots of roast in the nose. Flavor is a soft, lush roast and chocolate with a smooth finish. Just the right touch of bitterness in the end. OK, pour me another.

Oct 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep, deep dark brown with a big hearty beige head that laces very well and has great retention. The nose is dominated by roasted chocolate and coffee. Very noticeable but not too over powering. Flavor is exactly like the aroma. Lots of roasted chocolate and coffee flavors. Nice mild flavors that are dialed in nicely. The palate is great too. Not too heavy and not too thin. This is a perfect beer for colder weather.
