Aug 24, 2009 Pours an extremely dark brown/black with frothy coffee cream colored head. Aroma notes are roasted malts, alcohol, and some higher-temp fermentation phenols. Taste is better, with lots of roast and alcohol intermingling with yeast fruitiness. Some ash, chocolate, and coffee notes are present as well. A good bargain at $2.49 a bottle.

Aug 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours extremely dark brown, almost completely black with a tan head that leaves nice lacing. Roasted coffee beans dominate the aroma but there are also subtle hints of vanilla, chocolate and coal. A slight burnt taste meshes well with flavours of mocha, cocoa, malt and salty mixed nuts. A great porter with a complex flavour that is also excellent value.
