Sep 23, 2008 Brewed in the USA, Pours a very dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts, figs, and coffee. Taste of bitter chocolate, with a nice malt finish. This is a very good porter from Troegs..... :) If you get a chance pick this one up.

Sep 21, 2008 Very dark brown beer with a creamy tan head. Aroma is very cocoaish. Earthy/herbal roasty backnotes with an intensely ashy, charry roastiness. There is a lot of chalky bitterness as well. Clean yeast and the malts are a bit unidimensional as well. Still its a decent, roasty take on the style. Quite unlike most other porters though... more stout than porter.

Sep 19, 2008 12 oz bottle poured into glass; pours out nice dark mahagany, head quickly dissipates. Great hickory flavor along with everything you read in the commercial description. I don’t quite taste the 53 IBU’s but I"m sure the porter contributes to the lack of bitterness. Good beer.

Sep 18, 2008 Pours dark brown, nearly black, with a thick ring of tan lace - aroma of roasted malts, espresso, vanilla, a nutty and doughy character - hops are apparent, but don’t overpower the "porter" qualities in the nose - creamy texture, with a medium body - starts with a bit of coffee and a cream sweetness - a bit of bittersweet chocolate through the middle - finishes with an intense roast and bitter coffee, intensified by a moderate hop profile - a very solid porter.

Sep 7, 2008 This beer pours black with a tan head. There is noticeable hps in the aroma with some background maltiness. The flavor is coffee-like, malty, well balanced with hops. This is the hoppiest porter I’ve ever had and I like it! The body is medium-heavy with a medium carbonation.

Sep 7, 2008 Pours a very dark brown in color, very near black. Frothy mocha head forms and stays around for the duration. Smell is very hoppy with some chocolate underneath. Taste is hop dominated, but the chocolate compliments the flavor well. Full and very creamy on the mouthfeel. An easy drinker and a good beer. Happy to have Troegs available in the area now.
