Jan 4, 2007 Interesting brew. Not at all like traditional porters. Pour is nice and black, with an aroma of chocolate, coffee, and a hint of hops. Surprisingly there was alot of hops in the taste. Hops and coffee, with a strikingly bitter taste and finish. Too hoppy for a porter but good, big taste none the less. I like my porters alittle more creamy, thick and coffee flavored, but this beer certainly gets points for originality.

Jan 4, 2007 Hoped for more but good. A cross between alpha king IPA (one of my all time favorites) and some porter. Supper hoppy for a porter. I will never buy again because way over priced. What is far, far better than this is the blessed marriage of Alpha King IPA with Bell’s expedition stout.

Jan 3, 2007 Bomber, drank as Christmas Eve turned into Christmas Day. I’d been saving this for the occasion, hoping it would live up to my expectations. It most certainly did. Pours black/dark brown with a big, bubbly, dark tan head. Aroma is lots of coffee, chocolate, and more than a subtle touch of hops. The flavor is robust coffee, almost sweet warm chocolate, and a hop punch at the end. I really hated to see the last drop go.

Dec 30, 2006 Pitch black colour with a huge head. Lovely aroma of chocolate, roastedness and coffee. Very roasted flavour with notes of licourice and coffee ends up with a touch of dried fruit.

Dec 27, 2006 22oz bottle via trade poured almost black in color with a huge light brown head. The aroma was a yummy citrus hop, chocolate and roast. The taste was bitter and chocolaty with a sweet taste. Good mouthfeel, maybe a tad too hoppy for a Porter, but I like hops so this one is a winner.

Dec 27, 2006 Bottle. You know I really hyped myself up for this beer. Very dark with nice tan head. The aroma was of rosted malts with citrus hops shining thu. The taste was just too hoppy for a porter. Reminded my of a poor mans Gonzo.
