Apr 15, 2007 Fresh growler courtesy of cbkschubert. Pours dark brown with a thin soapy head. Smells of roasted malt, chocolate, some dark fruit, and spicy. Tastes of dark chocolate, bitter hops, and splashes of peppery spiciness. More hoppy than I’m used to in a porter. Mouthfeel is a little on the thin side. Finishes slightly bitter with some sweet maltiness.

Jul 29, 2006 Growler via trade with cbkschubert! - Thanks Craig! - Pours dark brown with a fair creamy tan head. Aromas of good roasted coffee and some light chocolate. Flavor is nice and roasted. Good light coffee notes and lingering milk chocolate. The finish is sweet chocolate and fairly dry. Good drinking porter. Glad I got the chance to try this.

Jul 9, 2004 Pours a black color that shows clear, deep ruby highlights when held up to the light. It is topped by a light brown head. This porter has a nice aroma of toast, roast malt, and dark caramel malts. There is lots of dark malt character in the flavor. This beer is light on the palate, but rich on flavors with notes of espresso, and toasted biscuits. This has a nice dry finish with an acidity that is contributed by the roast malts. There are some definite contrasting notes of spicy hop character towards the end, these add another dimension to this beer. The finish is nice, roasty, sharp, and bitter. Overall this is my favorite beer of theirs.

Apr 13, 2009 finally made the trip down JUST for this beer!
pours a darker version of the typical burgundy brown porter... nearly black with a slight haze and lasting tan ring for a head.
lots of roast on the nose without any sign of ashiness... lactose, wood, a touch of cocoa, fruit (though i don’t know which) and some floral hops.
the palate is dry... almost chalky on the finish... flavors in between of chocolate, slight char, toasty grain, floral hops and a peppery kind of spice. it is very well balanced... safe enough for tux and plenty for the nerds to enjoy.
medium bodied with a soft texture and thick/rich mouth feel from carbonation. 7/4.5/7/4/16/3.9
