Apr 20, 2008 Sample at the brewpub. This brew pours nearly black with a thin beige head that dissipates steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and a bit of hops. Medium-bodied and smooth with flavors of roasted coffee, malt and chocolate. Touches of hops are present too. The finish is roasty with chocolate malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Jan 10, 2008 on tap-pours a brown head and black color. Aroma is dark malt-roasty/chocolate/licorice/some coffee. Taste is dark malt-roasty/chocolate/licorice/some coffee, some faint hops. Comes across more as an Irish Stout to me. Not my style. Mild/minimum carbonation.

lots of roasted coffee flavor, would make a great coffee stout, but still enough rich chocolate to keep it as a porter too, good creamy body, touch of butterscotch sweetness that comes and goes
