Oct 31, 2009 On tap at Collins last night. Coffee and chocolate. I thought it was dry. I didn’t start drinking water until I ordered this one. Finished thin. I liked it enough but didn’t immediately think to get another.

Oct 17, 2009 on tap at collins pub for porterfest. color was light for a porter, a lightish brown. Aroma is chocolate dominant over coffee with a taste that is lightly bitter more like dark chocolate than roast coffee.

Jul 18, 2009 On tap at Naked City.Way too hoppy for a porter. Seems like the brewer ccouldn’t decide whether to do a porter or a black IPA, so they compromised.

May 10, 2009 Pitch black coloured body with a small tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasty flavour with a very nice taste. Aftertaste shows some coffee and chocolate with an overpowering malt. Overall, a great beer - definitely nice to try! I sampled this beer on draught at Henry’s 12th St Tavern in Portland, Oregon on 09-September-2006.

Apr 6, 2009 I had this on tap at Concordia Ale House. It poured a dark brown color with red highlights and a off white head.
Lots of chocolate and some roast notes in the aroma.
The flavor was mostly bitter-sweet chocolate with hints of coffee in the the finish. It was nicely balanced and very drinkable.
Very well made beer. I want more.

Dark brown color, nice roasty flavors with a good malt and hops backing. Liked the coffee and chocolate flavor this gave off. A very nice beer.
