Jan 14, 2009 12-oz. at Uber. Pours a nearly opaque black with a dense and creamy tan head. Nice coffee nose, immediately makes you sit up and take notice. Body’s a little watery, though, with too little carb, and what’s there is a bit too prickly. The whole thing seems to get about a third of the way across your tongue and just walk away whistling; the flavor and body disappear more or less entirely. This one needs a little bit more force put behind it.

Jun 17, 2009 Pours nearly opaque very dark brown with a massive, dense and lacy beige head. Soft chocolate aroma. Light body, full carbonation. Tastes sort of like a ’milk porter’ with soft chocolate and coffee notes. Crisp finish.
I’m finding that Baron probably gets down to a lower final gravity than the vast majority of craft brewers, and as a result they’ve delivered a rather refreshing Porter that will likely be under-appreciated due to the lack of body and sweetness.

Dec 22, 2008 Black body with brown underpinning and thin layer of head. Grainy, un-refined kitty litter aroma, and similarly flavored. Wafts and flavors of fresh milled dark grains also enter the experience. Full of malt.

Jan 14, 2009 12 oz bottle shared by bvc. Pour is clear black ruby with a thinnish off white head. Aroma of coffee roast, some milky lactic notes a bit of pine hop. Taste is primarily the roast, milkiness is muted in the taste, and a nice bitterness picking up in the finish. Palate very thin for style, though this helped it to be drinkable.
