Jun 19, 2003 Dark, dark brown in colour with a nice dense tan head. The beer isn't completely opaque, as some red highlights show near the bottom of the glass. Very subtle aroma consisting of raisins, coffee and malt. Definate malty flavour and a very clean flavourless aftertaste. Somewhat malty throughout, but not with the best of them. A pretty thin-bodided beer for the style, but not the worst i've had by far. Not a great beer, not a bad beer...its a typical one for the style and its from Maryland!

Jun 19, 2003 Pours dark/ruby-red but seems a bit thin in body. Thin head. Malty chocolate aroma, not overwhelmingly robust. Malt is roasted, with typical predictable chocolate notes dominating. Clean, crisp, dry finish. Enjoyable but not incredibly rich malt, a bit of a thin finish. Average for the style I suppose, middle of the pack.

May 27, 2003 Pours with a very dark red-brown body topped by a thick tan lasting head with a good amount of lace. Slightly Sweet and slightly smokey malt aroma with a chocalatey background. Somewhat weak aroma. Slightly sweet and smokey malt flavor wtih a coffeeish bitter background. The finish is midly smokey. Medium to full bodied and smooth.

May 25, 2003 Nice dark garnet color with very little head. I could get very little aroma from this brew but there was a tad of toffee. Very malty/grainy flavor but lacked the body to back it up. Decent hop presence. A slightly above average porter.

May 18, 2003 Pours a deep red color with a fluffy, light brown head. The aroma has notes of semi-sweet chocolate, pumpernickel bread and a bit of roasting. The flavor, while being rather full, is also quite light. Bready with hints of roasted chocolate. A decent beer that has a nice balance and is easy drinking. However, it is not extremely exciting.

May 17, 2003 Very good porter. Dark and thick with the amount of chocolate and coffee hops necessary for a great robust porter.

Apr 28, 2003 Big frothy head with rather large bubbles. Good combination of dark malt and earthy hops in the nose. Flavor is of easy-going chocolate punctuated rather nicely with restrained citric hops, some esters and dark grain bitterness. Nice body to this porter.
