Dec 6, 2007 Bottle- Dark brown color, off white head. Hops meet chocolate malt. Smooth and rich. A little less hop usage would really make the malt and body shine through for me.

Nov 28, 2007 Bottle from Bendo and served in standard pint glass: Very deep brown hue with creamy beige head and very good lace. The aroma has a lot of citric and herbal hop character along with burnt toast, bakers chocolate, pipe tobacco yeast esters. The taste is indeed a hoppy porter with lots of citrus notes balanced by a lovely chocolate and smoky malt layer. Hint of coffee and spice upon the finish. The mouth feel is sprite and refreshing with a chalky finish. This is far better that the Scratch 2 I just had, vibrant and enjoyable.

Nov 26, 2007 This was a somewhat unusual porter. Poured dark but translucent. Taste was of toffee, chocolate, and a slight dried dark fruit flavor as well. It was kind of like this beer was somewhere between a porter and a brown ale. Overall, not bad at all.

Nov 24, 2007 Pours black with with an off white head. The hops in this one comes out of the gate, somewhat unusual for a porter. Its not too bitter because the beer isn’t too sweet. The description says chinook hops and it is no question on theis one. This is an awesome beer. It’s what I expect from Troegs though. It has a chocolate earthy taste on the front end with a coffe like burnt character on the back end. Good drink.

Nov 21, 2007 I thought this was a very good porter. Troegs has impressed me with all their beers. And this was a welcome addition.

Nov 19, 2007 Bottle sampled on 9/18/07: Pours a nearly opaque dark mahogany with a wispy-lacing froth of dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and lightly roasted malts. Starts with a nice light sweetness and a touch of sticky caramel malt along with good roasty bittering notes and a hint of dark chocolate toward the bittersweet finish.

Nov 18, 2007 This brown pour with a mocha head smells earthy, hoppy and of chocolate. Nice hop flavor with the smooth, dry roasted malt finish.
