| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 28, 2007 Much thanks to Skyview for this pour. Dark brown color with foamy light brown head. Heavily carbonated. Sour cherries greet my nostrils at first. Some malty character eventually joins in. Very thin body with roasted malts and faint sour cherry. A little watery on the finish, but a very well done porter nonetheless. hellbilly (1566), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Bottle courtesy of pantanap (thanks!). Poured dark brown with a hyperaggressive tan head formation. Had a roasty, nutty aroma. Flavor was somewhat the same, though a tad bland. I think the major issue here was the carbonation; way too much. It added a bit of an acidity to the beer that wasn’t all that welcome. Despite that, it was a semi-decent brew that had some drinkability to it. Overall, I say a somewhat disappointing effort from a brewery I really like. No matter, it won’t stop me from getting their other stuff. alexsdad06 (1107), Ohio, USA

A large tan head fills the glass and hangs around for a visit. The aroma is heavy in sweet chocolate with some doughy/yeasty hints. The flavor has significant roasted malts, coffee, and chocolate. The medium mouthfeel finishes smoothly with a fair amount of bitterness. jcwattsrugger (5581), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
