Nov 9, 2009 Pours a dark brown with a brown-ish light head. Aroma has hints of chocolate and roasted malts, no hops. Flavor is like the aroma but has a sourness to it, more suptle than the New Glarus Porter, but it is there. Medium-heavy, no way to drink a lot of these in one sitting. I really like this.

Oct 26, 2009 Dark brown pour with a tan head. Aroma is full of roasty chocolate and light hops. Flavor is roasty and has some nice chocolate notes. A bit underrated IMO.

Oct 24, 2009 Brown pour with copper-ish hues. Coffee on the nose. Really light roast with flavors of chocolate, hops, and toffee. At least it was not metallic

does not count  Oct 10, 2009 This beer is ok. Tastes slightly dirty and there is nothing special about it. Barely a head at all, no lacing.

Sep 27, 2009 Pours red/black. Thin tan head. Light coffee aroma with a little fruitiness. Roasted malt flavor. Dry and bitter aftertaste. I’m not a huge porter drinker, nonetheless, this one is just ok.

12 oz bottle picked up at FUBOB’s. Appearance is a lighter deep brown. Nose is pale malt?! Flavor is a lightly intense sweet caramel. Lack of roasted flavors is questionable. Mouth is very dry. This one got a little too close to the IU locker room!

Sep 10, 2009 Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #19 of 90. Bottle Dan picked up at parti pak while out here (thanks). Pours black with red edges. Nose is roasted malt, some chocolate and toffee, though minimal. I don’t think the hops blended too well in this one, a little sour and stale. Could be the handling or shelflife...more like Elmer’s Bad Porter.

Aug 14, 2009 Found a lone six pack of this in the bottom of a cooler in a liquor store near Portland, Indiana. Raucous pour from the 12 oz bottle – the head is out of control. The “fssst” from the bottle when I popped the top was a good sign that this stuff is heavily carbonated. Aroma of burn malts, hops, a bit sour / vegetal. Flavor is burnt grain, hops, bitter black coffee, dark fruits, not very sweet but emphasis on the bitter and sour. Makes me think of really strong coffee that has sat on the burner just a little too long. Finish is brief with emphasis on sour hoppiness. Nothing bad here but too burnt, sour, and unbalanced for my taste.
