Apr 8, 2009 Very cool. Nice chocolate and coffee flavors. Has black body. Maltiness is complimented by the cocoa flavors. Awesome.

Apr 8, 2009 22oz bottle from NYbeer, thanks Steven.
Pitch black pour with a small off-white head. Lightly sweet, the cocoa comes through very nicely. Roasted, dark malt flavor, more light cocoa, very smooth, but also a bit thin. Decent overall, very glad to have the chance to try this though.

Apr 4, 2009 Dark brown pour with a thin off-white head. Grainy aroma, quite light on the roast, some discernible cocoa notes. Some alkaline cocoa hints, mild chocolate, a nice slight roastiness on the finish. Even though the chocolate doesn’t come through, it’s still a nice porter.

Apr 4, 2009 22 oz. bottle shared by goldtwins. Pours a clear dark brown. Pleasant aroma of malt and chocolate. The flavor is more malt than anything else with just a touch of chocolate. Smooth at the finish. Given the name of the beer and its description, I was expecting more of a presence from the chocolate. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Apr 4, 2009 Aroma is standard roast and chocolate, not the heaviest chocolate aroma out there but nice. A little watery in the mouthfeel. Aroma would suggest a thicker brew. Flavor is descent but a little light. I know it’s only a Porter but I expect a little more. What chocolate is there, is nice. I do enjoy the carbonated feel to this, which makes it sessionable.

Mar 31, 2009 Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - fairly straightforward and boring, which is what I’ve come to expect from these guys - light roast and chocolate and brown sugar sweetness - semi-vegetal qualities through the middle - a bit bitter - mild berry-ish fruitiness - drinkable, but I’d pass on it in the future.
