Jul 18, 2008 Courtesy of lb4lb. The aroma is very citrus influenced, quite hoppy, with chocolate and toasted malt accents. The body is a ruddy brown and it holds a finger sized tan head. Fairly big hop fore, tastes way too hopped for the style in my opinion, downplays the malt attributes. Sweet malt, mild chocolate and a brown ale nuttiness. Just seems to be the wrong choice of hops and hop levels for a porter. I suppose it is decent as a beer, but as a porter, I’m not a fan at all.

Jul 16, 2008 07 vintage 12 oz. Opaque mahogany with a large head that lasts. Earthy cocoa, grapefruit, resin and caramel aroma. Front flavor follows the aroma, with a nice finish of oak, spicy green herb, char and smoke. Medium body is smooth, hop tingly and nearly chalky-dry.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle: Murky, middleweight brown pour with a large, foamy tan head. Thick lacing. Roasty and bittersweet cocoa aroma with hoppy hints up front. Taste maintains the good hop presence with a chocolate and malty smooth finish. I like the crisp hoppy, yet smooth chocolately finish here. Nice little hoppy porter.

Jun 17, 2008 Updated: Dec 20, 2008[bottle - 12 oz] Dark black pour with a creamy tan head. Aroma is rich and chocolaty with some good roasted and burnt malts as well. Some light hints of cream. Flavor is very roasted at the beginning with a mildly sweet and bitter chocolate middle and a very thick, creamy, and chewy finish. [[1400th Rating]]

Jun 15, 2008 almost black pour with a medium sized tan head. Aroma is up front hops and roasted malt. Chocolate malt flavor with some smoke, nuts, and a bit of hops. Finishes bitter with a tad hint of sweetness to round that out.

Jun 10, 2008 Another tasty brew from troeg’s. This one was a bit hoppier than I would like in a porter, but pretty easy drinking overall. Pours a muddy brown with thin off-white head. Aroma of citrus hops, chocolate and roasted nuts. Chocolate and nut taste up front, with a surprisingly bitter metallic finish. It was really good up until the end, but decent overall.

Jun 7, 2008 I thought this porter was a slight bit too hoppy and not nearly enough roasty. The roast complex just feels to fall a bit short, almost as if you were to take an IPA and go 60/40 with a dark porter. It is still a great beer, but when I choose a beer style, it is because I want that style of beer and don’t necessarily want a super hoppy porter hybrid thing. The flavors are all nice though, so I’ll rate it higher than I think it deserves.
