poisoneddwarf (153), Rathdrum, Idaho, USA Aug 30, 2009 Updated: Oct 10, 200912 oz bottle. Halfway decent porter. The most special thing about this beer is the label. Smells like wheat bread gone bad. Seems to get less interesting as it warms. No detectable aftertaste. Doesn’t leave much of an impression. By the time I finished it, I thought it was the worst porter I’d ever had. Started decent, ended poorly. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 23, 2009 Coffee nose on this black pour. It is a little like a black lager in flavor. The light roasted taste goes down easy. Birdiebeagle (777), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 21, 2009 Bottle Pours a nice black with a creamy tan head. The lasts well and laces nicely. Has a nice roasted coffee aroma. Has good touches of sweetness also. Has a good carbonation. The mouthfeel is okay. The flavor is of roast but seems to be a little lite. Has a decent blending. A light body and a watery texture. The finish is soft and a lacking aftertaste. Not bad but not hearty enough for me. chandler0201 (341), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jul 19, 2009 Brown pour with medium sized head. Coffee and roasts in flavor and aroma. Kind of bitter aftertaste. Best bottle label ever though. DJMonarch (5966), Northwich, Cheshire, England Jul 5, 2009 From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 11/10/2007
Fruity aroma. Small white head. Dark coloured fruity and slightly rich on the palate with a crisp and bitter coffee roast finish. jeremytoni (1069), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Jul 5, 2009 From the tap at the Salt Lake City Airport poureddark brown with a fair amount of head. Nice malty flavor with a quick finish. beerbill (1917), Laurel, New York, USA Jun 28, 2009 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with Sparky27. Pours a dark but clear reddish brown with a moderate tan head that lasted through mid-glass and left partial lace. Light aroma of chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is predominantly roasted malt with notes of tobacco and chocolate as well. A bit light bodied, especially for a porter. Overall an ok beer. dkachur (2314), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA May 30, 2009 12 ounce bottle courtesy of BelgianBeerGal. Thanks! Pours a dark ruby tinted brown color with a thin head, good retention and lacing. Huge chocolate notes in the aroma with faint roast and hops. Taste is chocolate, caramel and coffee with the faintest nutty finish. Medium bodied. Quite nice. 6/4/8/4/14
