[1669-20080906] Tap. Brewed coffee grounds and mocha chocolate aroma. Clear, dark brown body with a medium-lasting foamy tan head. Roast chocolate mocha malt flavour is slightly burnt with a hint of booze. Full body. Solid porter. <br /><i>(@ brewpub; Anchorage, AK)</i>

2008-09-06. Black body with a modest tan head. Sweet malt with undertones of sweetness rapidly gives way to light roast and bitterness, brief coffee ground notes, mocha and coffee linger - a bit roughly for me - slight ashen acidity is just enough to be noticed. (6+) Moderate roast in the aroma is either quite mild or my sniffer is not working hard enough. Very light mocha notes. Average palate is thin for my liking. <i>On tap at the brewpub.</i>

On tap at the brewpub July 10. I’ve recently gotten back into drinking porters and stouts, so this one was a treat. Poured jet black. Super rich toasty malt and coffee taste. Nice bitter on the back. Very indicative of the style, reminded me of Guinness in a way.

Draft at the brewpub, 7/6/05: Dark brown with a decent smoke aroma, but the flavor is sweet malt with little constructive character. So-so.

Very dark, almost black. Big roasty aroma, coffee and chocolate. Slightly rich on the tongue, but not really sweet. Slightly thin body. Makes for a great dessert beer.
