Nov 12, 2007 Pours a dark brown body with a white head. Smells of chocolate and coffee. Taste is very much like the Old Heathen imperial stout , with less alcohol and hops. A decent drinking porter, but not unique in any way. Sampled at the Weyerbacher Brewery in South Easton, PA.

Oct 24, 2007 Very good porter. The best that I have had. Very intense, roasty, toasty malty and delicious.

Oct 11, 2007 Maybe this bottle is off? Not quite sure, I’ll rerate at some point. Dark brown with an average thin tan head. Subdued roast. A fruity tartness. A small chocolate. Light. A little fizzy. A bit thin. Tart?!?! A bit roasty up front. Acidic. A bit like cola. Fruity. Lingering roasty acidity. Relatively clean, but not to my liking. Maybe infected? Dunno.

Sep 30, 2007 Dark brown color with brown head and nice lacing. Aroma is roasty with strong malts and chocolate notes. Flavor is similar, with some coffee and chocolate, light fruit flavors and a lot of malt. Very good

Sep 6, 2007 Pours black into a stem glass. Medium sized mocha head quickly recedes, but holds steady at 1/4 inch. Licorice and burnt molasses aromas. Lightly carbonated with smooth licorice upfront, turning to a sour and bitter metallic finish.

Sep 3, 2007 22oz bottle, no date from Mystery Swap 2.0, I can’t remember from who--DocLock maybe? Deep brown with a 1/2 finger tan head, fair retention. Scorched raisins, roasted malts, bittersweet molasses, and some unsweetened chocolate consist of the aroma. There is an off sour tang in the aroma that I can’t shake that makes me think infection. The flavor still has that tang, but it seems a little more muted and doesn’t necessarily seem all that horrible, so maybe this was an intended flavor. There is also a bit of added soy sauce. Ashy finish with bitterness topping out at a 3. Carbonation is low, and the body is medium. Not that impressive.
