Nov 23, 2009 Poured out of the bottle into the glass is a dark muddy brown with a slightly reddish hue. The head that appears is pretty nice actually. The whole beer looks like a root beer float. Frothy tan head, that dissipates slowly into a creamy mess on top of the liquid. Aroma has heavily roasted malts for sure. some soft subtle sweetness from the caramel. And noticeable alcohol. Palate is full, rich and roasted. Love the flavour of this beer. Big and robust and super filling.

Nov 19, 2009 Cask... Black/Deep ruby with a tan head and leaves amazing lacing... Medium bodied, very creamy on the beer engine... aroma is dominated by roasted malts with notes of citrusy hops... Flavor follows suit with the roastiness being more subtle and the hoppiness shining through... Not quite as hoppy as some of the other new age hoppy porters, but very good...

Nov 17, 2009 A really nice effort from Troegs makes me rethink my usual avoidance of porters. Here we have a fairly complex offering that manages to stay inside the style where so many seem to go over (or under) the top. A nice bitter coffee bite mellowed with light chocolate and balanced with hops. Not thin, appetizing head, lacing. Good stuff.

Nov 15, 2009 There is definetly hops upfront, but the richness and smooth mouth feel balances it out. Appearance is an opaque dark brown.

Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark, clear brown color with a moderate, very tight lacing brownish head. Aromas of chocolate, molasses, roasted malts, and hints of pine. Very smooth mouthfeel with the appropriate liveliness, creamy throughout on the palate. Flavors of chocolate, molasses, and roasted malts. Very good beer.
