Bottle courtesy tpd975. Pours a very dark clear brown with crimson highlights and a one finger tan head that fades to a ring and leaves some spotty lacing. Aroma of green hops, slight roast, molasses, and dark fruit. Taste is roasted malt, chocolate, green hops, spicy yeast, and molasses. Medium thin mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good.

Sep 1, 2008 Black color with very nice dark brown head. Very nice scent with lots of different tones in there. It was a little bit tart for a porter. Not sweet like some are, just kind of bitter.

Jul 30, 2008 Black with big head that dissipates quickly. Big aroma of molasses, soy, chocolate and espresso. Taste starts off innocently enough, with some bitter chocolate and significant soy. Finishes with too much metallic bitterness. Thin; this is too "extreme" to be a porter, but too weak to be an imperial stout. Does that make any sense? No? Good.
Ugh.

Jul 11, 2008 Poured a very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma was mainly of chocolate and caramel. Flavor was also pretty sweet, mainly of chocolate, maybe some toffee and cappacino

Jul 6, 2008 Poured very dark, almost black, with a light tan head that retained well and left some lacing. Smell had a small amount of roastiness, semi-sweet, a bit of hops as well. Taste had some roastiness, noticeable, but not plentiful. There was some sweetness, lactose, and some bitter, hoppy flavors as well. Mouthfeel was on the lighter side of medium and carbonation was on the higher end. Good drinkability, I could probably stand to have a few of these, even at 7 percent.
